Started in Denmark in 1989, Nekromantix is a musical unearthing of the biggest themes from the greatest works of monster, zombie, vampire, werewolf and b-horror fiction; ripped from literature, comic book pages or classic celluloid. Nekromantix chases a darkly romantic muse with an even darker humor.
Armed with his signature coffin bass, chilling baritone, monstrous expressions and ten-stories-tall haircut, Kim Nekroman (Also in Horrorpops) has earned tremendous respect, admiration and goodwill from a fiercely dedicated legion of hard partiers, rabble rousers, well-meaning degenerates, grease monkeys, nostalgic tastemakers and forward-thinking punks. It's a crew of supporters as diverse as the otherwise classic and timeless music the Danish-born California transplant has unleashed as leader of Nekromantix.
Nekroman's notorious quiff is as instantly recognizable as the coffin bass he's slapped into submission on nine studio albums, countless worldwide tours and festivals. Return Of The Loving Dead (2002) marked a career resurgence and subcultural breakthrough for what was previously a cherished underground band best known outside North America, via now legendary records like Curse Of The Coffin (91), Brought Back To life (94), Demons Are A Girl's Best Friend (96), and their debut Hellbound (89). The new millennium brought the band to America in the forms of Dead Girl's Don't Cry (2004), Life Is A Grave And I Dig It (2007), and What Happens In Hell Stays In Hell (2011).
A Symphony Of Wolf Tones & Ghost Stories is a fertile proving ground for a reenergized lineup that fans have been loving for a while now. New songs like "Glow In The Dark", "War Bats" and "Resting Witch Face" are instant classics, standing mightily alongside the greatest Nekromantix songs enduring in their set list.
There are some bands whose sound, image became synonymous with an entire subculture. When someone says "Lemmy" or "Strummer" or "Blondie", certain feelings are immediately invoked. There's a palpable energy in the air among hardcore acolytes and certain mavens. It's a kind of iconic resonance that transcends boundaries. To their dedicated army of supporters around the world and across every dimension, Nekromantix stands tall among the ghosts in rock n' roll's undead cemetery
