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 OFLUCIFER 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.
They have influenced various bands and set the standards for the Greek Black Metal scene.
