Necromantia - Crossing The Fiery Path

Reissue / 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. This chosen path of diversity established the band’s uniqueness and earned them the respect of the scene worldwide and the recognition as one of the most influential bands of the black metal genre. “Crossing the fiery Path” was originally released in 1993 as a follow-up to their split LP with the other Greek legend VARATHRON. This was the first complete album of the band and by this the band made it’s official appearance in the extreme music scene.
