Necromantia
Necromantia was a Greek black metal band that was founded in 1989 in Athens. Alongside Rotting Christ and Varathron, they are considered to be pioneers in establishing the Greek black metal scene in the early 1990s. The band is notable for the complete lack of rhythm guitar in their music, which is substituted by an eight-string bass guitar. Another notable feature is the band's frequent use of musical instruments not usually associated with black metal, such as the saxophone and flute. In November 2019, following the death of founding member Baron Blood, Necromantia announced it would disband after a final, commemorative album titled ''To the Depths We Descend...''. History Necromantia was founded in 1989 by George "The Magus" Zacharopoulos (formerly known as "Magus Wampyr Daoloth", as well as "Morbid" when collaborating with Rotting Christ) in bass/vocals and Makis "Baron Blood" Kanakaris in 8-string bass. The two have been the only consistent members of the band throughout i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eight-string Bass Guitar
An eight-string bass guitar is a type of bass guitar with double course strings normally tuned in octaves, with both strings in a course usually played simultaneously. As on a 12-string guitar, this produces a natural chorus effect due to the subtle differences in string pitch. 8-string bass guitars The eight-string bass guitar was invented by electrical engineer and musician Eric Krackow, who had played with Al Kooper's early band, The Aristo-Cats, in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It bothered Eric that 50% of the quartet would be tied up with the guitar doubling the bass line while playing tunes like Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression". Eric, finding it too awkward to play the unison octaves himself on complex songs, remembered the 12-string guitar principle and made a prototype eight-string bass from a modified four-string bass. The bass was strung with paired, octaved strings, similar to those of a regular 12-string guitar. In 1967, Eric and business partner Steve Wittels brou ...
