Background information about 'Alpha And Omega – The Coiling Dragon'

Greek black metal legends Necromantia return with this comprehensive collection that captures the raw essence of their formative years. "Alpha And Omega – The Coiling Dragon" serves as a testament to the band's pioneering spirit in the Hellenic black metal scene, featuring all recordings released prior to their groundbreaking debut "Crossing the Fiery Path". The collection showcases Necromantia's distinctive approach from their very first recording - abandoning traditional guitars as rhythm instruments in favor of dual bass guitars, creating an atmosphere so ominously sinister that it feels conjured from the depths of the underworld itself.

Spread across two CDs, this release includes the legendary Promo 1990, their contributions to the epochal split "The Black Arts / The Everlasting Sins" with Varathron (including the obscure track "Family Of Dog"), and Demo 1993. These recordings demonstrate why Necromantia, formed by Magus Wampyr Daoloth and the late Baron Blood in 1989, are hailed as one of the earliest and most influential bands in the Greek black metal movement. Their theatrical, audio drama-like passages combined with abysmal vocals create a dark cocktail that continues to fascinate the worldwide underground metal scene.

For fans of:
Varathron, Rotting Christ, Thou Art Lord, and early Greek black metal
