A metal act from Oslo, formed by Pagefire host Andri Sigfussen. It originally started out as a solo project that merged Nintendocore—a genre that merges chiptune with either post-hardcore, metalcore, extreme metal, or just hardcore punk and/or heavy metal in general—with melodeath and power metal, but since Andri became more accepting towards Nintendocore, it became a band with two other members of Pagefire.
Their eponymous debut album, as well as their first EP "Metalwaves" and first single "Water Temple in My Dreams" were all recorded as Andri's side project from Pagefire, while their second single "Race of Life" was released as a full band.
Currently, the line-up of the band includes, also listing the three from Pagefire rather than excluding them:
1. Anne-Line Hovind (lead vocals)
2. Andri Sigfussen (lead guitar + songwriting)
3. Martin Langebraaten (rhythm guitar + unclean vocals)
4. Alexander Flygel (bass)
5. Tobias Lyseggen (drums + mixing)
Their music is usually themed after both video games and external references. The original demonstration song, which was later the opening track to Nekonomicon's self-titled album, "Those Creatures from Ganon Are Pretty Bad," was themed after Zelda, and a few others (Mario, the Konami code, lootboxes/"surprise mechanics," etc.) while the second track of the album, and my personal favorite, "Ghost Maze Project," is themed after Pac-Man and even features a sick S L A P P bass solo.

Nekonomicon SLAMS! Finally, a Nintendocore band I can listen to while having Scar Symmetry and Keldian on my mind.
Also kinda reminds me of Epica since they have a female lead singer...

Get the Necronomicondom mug.A volume of arcane and occult knowledge featured in the horror stories of H P Lovecraft. Though he made reference to some genuine texts, the "unmentionable Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred" was entirely his invention. Throughout the Fifties and Sixties his books gained such a following among college students that numerous hoax versions were produced, drawing heavily on his own Cthulhu fiction and the writings of Aleister Crowley.
"You've got a Necronomicon? Woo, I'm impressed. *opens it* You'll notice that turning this diagram upside-down actually displays the Arabic for PROFESSOR CARLING BLOWS GOATS."

Get the necronomicon mug.A possibly lost book containing occult knowledge and wisdom. It was most prominently featured in the works of Lovecraft, and he later claimed that the book was his own invention. However, further investagations show references to the work "necronomicon" much older than Lovecraft so even if he did completely invent all the information in his "unspeakable necronomicon" it is still likely there was some old occult text of the same name that was just wiped from history as part of the cycle of book burnings and european wars.
A work called the "Necronomicon" may have existed, even if it wasn't anything like the book featured in Lovecraft's works.

Person 2: Who knew that the Necronomicon would turn out to be an actual book?
