Necromantia

Black metal band from Greece, formed in 1989 by Magus Wampyr Daoloth (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. They didn't hesitate to use "non-metal" instruments like: saxophone, percussions, etc. in addition to their standard metal orchestrations, in order to established their unique sound. Line-up: The Magus - bass, vocals Baron Blood - 8 string bass, bass solos Fotis Benardo - drums + additional session members
