Necromancy

Band, 1986-1989 GR, Athens
Rock

Necromancy (3) Originally named R.O.T. (Reek of Terror), evolved in the Death Metal scene in late 80's. They were among the Second Wave of Black Metal among bans like Rotting Christ, Varathron, and Necromantia which later became the fathers of Greek Black Metal. They were originally formed Chris Tsoukalas, Giannis Karasarinis, Vagelis Vafias and Magus Wampyr Daoloth. They mistakenly passed as just a “pre-Necromantia” project due to Magus Wampyr Daoloth involvement in the band until his departure in 1990. 1989: They released a debut Demo Tape in Visions of Lunacy Although the demo material displayed potential for the band’s growth, Necromancy (3) existence was short-lived. After Magus Wampyr Daoloth departure Chris Tsoukalas who previously played rhythm guitar, took responsibility for the bass instead! 1991: Necromancy entered the studio as a three-piece to record a Mini LP entitled “Ancient Wrath.” Unfortunately that recording would never see the light of day, nor would the many other songs the band had written but not yet recorded. 1992: In that year's winter Giannis Karasarinis while serving in the Greek military, "Living Dead" suffered a heart attack and died at the age of 20. Without his Hades and Unblessed chose to disband and the “Ancient Wrath” Mini LP remained unreleased and unheard for over two decades until its recent release in 2015 by Nuclear War Now! Productions
