Background information über 'The Black Arts'

Greek black metal legends Necromantia have always occupied a unique place in the pantheon of extreme music, and "The Black Arts" stands as a testament to their otherworldly approach to the genre. This collection brings together some of their most essential early recordings, showcasing the band's distinctive sound that emerged fully formed from their very first demo. What sets Necromantia apart from their contemporaries isn't just their atmospheric approach to black metal, but their revolutionary instrumentation - eschewing traditional rhythm guitars in favor of dual bass guitars, creating a deeper, more ominous foundation for their dark compositions.

The material on "The Black Arts" captures Necromantia at their most primal and atmospheric, with the late Baron Blood and Magus Wampyr Daoloth conjuring sounds that seem to emerge from the depths of Hades itself. The theatrical elements woven throughout these recordings feel like fragments of some ancient ritual, while the abysmal vocals serve as incantations to summon forces beyond mortal comprehension. This isn't just black metal - it's necromantic art in its purest form, demonstrating why Necromantia became such an influential force in the Hellenic black metal scene.

For fans of: Varathron, Rotting Christ, Thou Art Lord, and Mortuary Drape
