Northampton MA, United States (2005 – present)
Deathmøle is a virtual post-metal band, whose works are freely available over the internet, created by Jeph Jacques in 2005. The band currently comprises three characters from his comic, Questionable Content: Marten Reed (Lead Guitar), Amir Afridi (Bass Guitar), and Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham (Drums). Until recently, the band also included Natasha (Sonic Texturalist/Keyboard), who left in 2008.
Jeph originally released Deathmøle songs through his livejournal, as well as recently uploading a good deal of his catalog to Last.fm and to a proprietary music page on QC’s website (now defunct), but eventually switched to his tumblr and then to Bandcamp. To date, Deathmøle has released eight albums, an EP, and a one-song demo called Death From Below. While Deathmøle’s first song showcases a downtempo slowcore-ish vibe, their work almost immediately switched to Isis, Pelican, Cult of Luna and Cloudkicker-esque post-metal, a style they have consistently maintained ever since.
According to QC lore, the band members all first met in Northampton, Massachusetts, where Marten worked as an office bitch, Amir as a waiter, Hannelore ran an online business, and Natasha attended post-secondary school at Smif College. The band took its first form when Natasha and Amir met at the restaurant where Amir worked, upon which Natasha recognized him as the owner of a tooth she had kicked out his face at a Converge show two weeks earlier.

Pretty sure he plays guitar and bass, and programs the drumtracks and synths. Like most of us home musicians.

BTW, does anybody know if in the latest albums Jeph actually plays something or the tracks are still being done with Garage Band like in Moletopolis?

@King_Of_Budgies: I, too, covet an original Deathmøle shirt. Nerd_nerd's is just lame. The original was the Moletopopolis cover. That rocks!

"Fighting off the Emus" always reminds me of that time when two emus died in my arms. True story!

Seems like Deathmøle is focusing more on the drumming in the two new tracks. Nice development.

@I_galanodel: Jeph used to sell a Deathmøle T-Shirt in the store, but it has since been discontinued. One of my biggest regrets is not being able to order one on account of being chronically short of money.

I'm trying to imagine Marten playing some of these songs and it's goddamn funny. Or Hannelore beating the drums, for that matter. Woot woot!
