Yesterday in 1995 Necromantia released the album Scarlet Evil Witching Black Athens, Attica,Greece Black Metal Status:Active Years active: 1989-present 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. 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. They have influenced various bands and set the standards for the Greek Black Metal scene.
