Germany seems to be holding out on the good stuff. Dark, beautiful, brooding, achingly poignant...man, I want to know what else is there. Necromance seems, from the CD's opener "Far Away", a band with heavy Rammstein flavoring, but far from being just another rip off, the band proves its diversity with the next track, "Immortal Cry", with a very haunting female singer handling the vocals. There's a bevy of instrumentation on this CD, with piano, strings, rain sound effects, along with the regular dark guitars, throaty vocals and eerie keyboards associated with Goth. I just want to know where these guys were when Wedding Party called it quits. It would have made the blow go oh so much softer.
8.5/10
Other coverage for this album
Dead Zine 2002Reviewed by D_ListerMoody, brooding, dark, Hmmmm if you just read NecRo's review you'll think I'm just ripping off his adjectives, but really those are the words that come to mind instantly. Necromance brings forth German gothic rock that makes everything else we've seen thus far in the Christian goth scene seem quite inadequate. Just like you feel you've got to mention Manson when talking about Rackets & Drapes…Similar sounding releases
