The Necromancer is an epic progressive rock song by Rush from their 1975 album Caress of Steel and is currently their fifth longest song, behind Cygnus X-1, Fear, 2112, and The Fountain of Lamneth. This was Rush's first attempt at writing an epic piece and, along with its partner The Fountain of Lamneth, was blamed for the commercial failure of the album. However, Rush would prove with their next album, 2112 that they could write epics well. The song has not appeared on any Rush live album or compilation.
