About Me

Riffamortis is a metal band hailing from Schenectady, New York. Established in 2005, Riffamortis was originally "Final Notice." With the addition of drummer Mike DeMarco, they offically became Riffamortis, with Kevin joining later and Jake completing the lineup. We are influenced by music from genres ranging from soft rock to metal/hardcore and everything inbetween. We are always in the process of writing and recording new, original material, so check back often. We will play a show with anybody, anywhere, anytime, just let us know if you're interested. Let us know what you think!You can get in touch with us by messaging us on this page or sending an email to: [email protected]
