Summon: How did the band get started?
G.C.Longinus: First of all, I would like to thank you for the opportunity, for the interview. I created the name of the band and the first song in 2004, initially was to be a “one man band”, but as time went by I was maturing the idea that it could be a band to play live, then in 2007 set it is the first line-up was G.C.Longinus – guitars / vocals, Cerberus – Bass, Sammhael – drums, that in September 2007, two months after Sammhael left the band for personal reasons, and I called Necromanscius Apocalypticus, since it is a fixed member in the band, we started rehearsing for recording our Ep “in Alliance with the Fallen Angels“, this material was recorded in January 2008 at the Z7 Studios in Vila Madalena, São Paulo – SP, Brazil.
