NECROMANTIA “Crossing The Fiery Path” /CD/

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Greek Black Metal band.
There are good reasons why record companies gamble on re-releases, and Black Lotus Records hit the jackpot with this one! This is Necromantia's early work in an album that can only be described as a point of reference for the Greek Black Metal scene.
In the year of their lord, 1993, Necromantia hit the streets with their debut album. What was astonishing back then as it is now is the fact that they use 8-string bass instead of electric guitars, which makes their sound unique and immediately recognizable. Having said that, their sound is let down by production by means of timing and quality output leading to a mediocre result.
Necromantia's use of keyboards and spoken parts come to their rescue as they add to the atmosphere, making the production's defects non-important. Tracks like "Lord of the Abyss", "The Warlock" and "Last Song for Valderie" will make the hair on your backbone rise, even though at some parts this seems to take place in expense of technique and variety.
"Crossing The Fiery Path" is an album that is definitely worth your attention! Check out also the bonus track which is a cover of Omen's "Death Rider"!!
First re-release of the album comes as limited to 1000 copies Digipack CD with remastered version of the album, complete new artwork, one bonus track and one hidden track!

The second re-release of the third full-length studio album by cult Greek Black Metal band.
For some particular reason, "IV: Malice" finds Necromantia departing from their previous style and attempting to try to uniform it with the contemporary Black Metal style of many bands. Anyway, unique individual sound with the use of 4 and 8-string bass never gone!
Probably the best album of one of the most influential bands of the Greek Black Metal scene, "IV: Malice" is exactly pure wrath and hatred!!
Re-issue with original sound recording, as well as completely new layout and cover.

The second re-release of the second full-length studio album by cult Greek Black Metal band.
"Crossing The Fiery Path" was listenable, but had just too weak of a signal-to-noise ratio to be essential. If you must only own one Necromantia album, this is definitely the one!
"Scarlet Evil Witching Black" is a cult Black Metal album, and it's recommended for fans of Rotting Christ as well as fans of "To Mega Therion" and "Into The Pandemonium" albums of Celtic Frost!!
Re-issue with original sound recording and complete new layout.
