NorsePlay.

Inspired by the dark, dark Icelandic magical practice of making a pact with someone who will allow you to dig their body up, flawlessly skin their lower half and immediately wear that second epidermis over your own, then activate that skin by stealing a coin from a poor widow to place in its scrotum with a magic stave which will then always generate more coins invisibly stolen from those around you, the ritual of which the Necro Pants pedal grabs its name from.

From Walrus Audio, their Warhorn Mid Range Overdrive Pedal seems to deliver a dirty blues guitar sound. What that specific audio profile has to do with Viking Metal or the large wave of Wardruna -inspired Nordic Folk, I'm unsure of ( sad Ragnar, maybe? ), but it's probably a marketing misnomer.

Collingwood's illustration for Bray's 1908 CE  Poetic Edda 's title page: Or maybe the animals from the Norse-inspired Easby Cross: This Viking Art motif survey aside, none of these are an exact match, but I could swear I've seen that pedal's...
