Necromantia - Scarlet Evil Witching Black

Reissue / Released in 1995 as the second album, it literally set new standards to the genre, soundwise and musicwise! The sound was massive, raw , though strong and clear! Musically the first blast beats started to appear in a frenzied black metal trip of madness and condensed chaos! NECROMANTIA were of the first bands which used symphonic parts intensively as a part of their music, enhancing the atmosphere and charging emotionally the listener and sinking him far deep into the black abyss. This unique combination (for the time) of aggressiveness and symphonic malevolence made this album a cornerstone of a lot of bands who followed after and named NECROMANTIA as one of their main influences…. “Scarlet Evil , Witching Black” is considered the magnum opus of the band!
