Gothic

Nihilista

Nihilista was born in Breslau. Growing up on the outskirts of civilization. His first lullaby was the sound of post-communist factories. Initially involved in punk subculture, and then slowly dissolving into the industrial and the occult scenes (Der Sieg, Quadriga Sexualis). In 1999 he moved to London, which has been his harbour ever since. Penetrating the underbelly of London's nightlife, he's active in both the occult and fetish communities. During the recording of the "Divine Misanthropy" album, the band gained a new member - in the shape of Goter.

Necronomicon

1) Necronomicon were formed in 1971 in Aachen, the Western part of Germany near the Belgium and Netherlands border. With an album title (Tips zum Selbtsmord) that means "How to Commit Suicide," Necronomicon's one album, from 1972, featured bleak progressive garage rock with long instrumental passages. With wailing acid guitar solos, dark organ swirls, and angst-ridden singing in German, Necronomicon has created a dark and powerful vision that blends psychedelic and progressive music with a proto-punk garage band sensibility.
