One of the most influential
bands of the black metal genre, Necromantia, will release its first official
and complete biography book in English in March 2023 via Pagan Records.
Entitled “The Serpent and the Pentagram: The Official Chronicles of Necromantia”,
the book was written by The Magus (Necromantia’s co-founder) and Aris Shock
(author of “Rites of the Abyss”).
Following Baron Blood’s
passing and the band's farewell album, the official biography of Necromantia is
finally unleashed. It chronicles the complete story of the band and their
daring journey through three decades of unique dark creations. The book is
based on personal memories of The Magus, many of which are unveiled for the
first time.
The book starts from the 80s,
by explaining how the core of Necromantia was formed and it reveals intriguing
information about all their recorded work, lyrics, covers, influences, occult
research, inspiration, and many other details. It also talks about the
endeavours of The Magus and Baron Blood in other bands and projects, music
production, fanzines, and labels (Thou Art Lord, Rotting Christ, N.A.O.S.,
Raism, Terra Tenebrae/ Soulskinner, Storm Studios, Blasphemous Mag, Black Lotus
Records and many more).
The
Serpent and the Pentagram… also includes exclusive
comments from musicians who collaborated with Necromantia and quotes by other
esteemed people of the international extreme metal scene. The book starts with
an insightful foreword by Kostas Chronopoulos, chief editor of Metal Hammer
Greece.
