Necropolis Michalis Michos A Tribute to the Drummer of Necropolis 1 December 2022** Michalis Michos was not just the drummer of Necropolis. He was one of those rare people who carried the truth of Thessaloniki’s punk scene in his hands, in his pulse, and in the way he played. His drumming had that raw, honest intensity that made every live show feel like a battle — and he always came out victorious.
The band Necropolis
Necropolis were one of the bands that left a clear mark on the city’s underground sound. Their music was fast, sharp, socially aware, and deeply connected to the streets and realities of Thessaloniki. And at the heart of that sound was Michalis.
He played with a unique blend of aggression and musicality, giving the band both power and depth. But beyond the music, he was loved for who he was: straightforward, authentic, humorous, and always present. His bandmates were not just colleagues — they were his friends, his family on and off the stage.
