Necromantia

Complex mystical black metal from Greece which frequently involves instrumentation of retuned 8-string basses.

The Band 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 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, Percussions E.T.C. In Addition To Their Standard Metal Orchestrations. And That Option Made Them Unique And Established Their Own Sound. They Have Released : -1 Split LP/CD With VARATHRON(THE BLACK ARTS-1991) -2 Full Albums And 1 Mini-Album In The Legendary OSMOSE PRODUCTIONS(CROSSING THE FIERY PATH-1993,SCARLET EVIL_WITCHING BLACK-1995, ANCIENT PRIDE-1997), -1 Full Album And 1 Best Of Compilation With BLACK LOTUS RECORDS(IV:MALICE-2000, 12 YEARS DOING THE DEVIL'S WORK-2002) -1 Full Album On DOCKYARD 1 (THE SOUND OF LUCIFER STORMING HEAVEN 2007) -1 Split CD/LP With ACHERONTAS On DARK SIDE RECORDS (FOR THE TEMPLE OF THE SERPENT SKULL 2009) The Band Is Considered A Pioneer Of The Second Wave Of Black Metal Along With DARKTHRONE, SAMAEL, IMPALED NAZARENE, EMPEROR, ROTTING CHRIST, ENSLAVED E.T.C.
