NECROMANTIA was created in late 1989 by two like minded individuals: The Magus (bass/vocals) and Baron Blood (8-string bass). Their aim was to create original, powerful and innovative Diabolical music, replacing the usual 6-string guitars with an 8-string bass! Their first recordings earned them a cult status in the scene since they were very original, ritualistic and utterly sinister!
NECROMANTIA never hesitated to use "non-metal" instruments like saxophone or percussions in addition to their standard metal orchestrations. And that option made them unique and established their own sound. Furthermore lyrically, NECROMANTIA was always a band who took matters seriously. The band members have been involved into various forms of the Dark Arts, practically and theoretically, and although in their lyrics they use fantasy and symbolic elements the essence of their writings remains real. The band is considered a pioneer of the second wave of Black Metal along with bands like DARKTHRONE, SAMAEL, IMPALED NAZARENE, EMPEROR, ROTTING CHRIST and ENSLAVED. They have influenced various bands and set the standards for the Greek Black Metal scene.
Recently signed to the Teutonic label DOCKYARD 1 for their upcoming album, they will release their new opus entitled "The sound of Lucifer storming Heaven" in November 2007! "The sound of Lucifer storming Heaven" is a fine piece of ritualistic, symphonic but harsh and aggressive Black Metal! |
