INVICTUS PRODUCTIONS in conspiracy with THE AJNA OFFENSIVE are proud to present NECROMANIAC’s long-awaited debut album, Sciomancy, Malediction & Rites Abominable, on CD and vinyl LP formats. INVICTUS will handle the album’s release for Europe while AJNA will handle its North American release. The CD version is scheduled for release on January 13th, 2025 to coincide with the Wolf Moon, while the LP version will be released at a later date.
Forged in heretical fire while lurking in the darkest shadows of the underground for the past 13 years, this London-based (UK) band formed by Swedish, Spanish, Greek, and Polish musicians has crafted a debut album that’s guaranteed to send cold shivers down your spine. A truly sinister musical journey containing 9 forbidden rites steeped in witchcraft, necromancy, and an overall occult atmosphere, NECROMANIAC’s first full-length is everything its weighty title promises…and more!
Those who were possessed by their 2015 demo tape and 2018 7″ EP don’t need to worry, as the NECROMANIAC sound of old is reanimated here. Only now it’s given delirious flight on demon wings of ecstasy: blacker, more metal, more epic, more atmospheric, more “mature,” more of MORE. Joining these morbid ghouls on their devilish quest are guests A.A. Nemtheanga of Primordial, Negative Plane’s Nameless Void, and one A Corpse Without a Soul, whose signature throat should not be unknown to astute underground dwellers. The sum effect of Sciomancy, Malediction & Rites Abominable is a sonic bacchanalia informed by the ageless wisdom of Hell’s heavy metal.
No mercy, no forgiveness, no salvation, no return…MORBID METAL TO THE DEATH!
