Biografie

There are multiple artists with this name:

1) Necronomicon is a German thrash metal band who formed in Lörrach, 1983. They were formed with Volker "Freddy" Fredrich -(Vocals/Guitar), Lars "Lala" Honeck on Bass and Axel Strickstrock (Drums). They released a demo in 1985 called "Total Rejection" which set the scene for their career. The demo featured a style of Teutonic thrash metal of the day, in light of Destruction, with pounding drums, catchy riffs and medium to high aggressive vocals.

Their second demo was released soon after in 1985 called "Blind Destruction" which set a deal up for them with Gama Records. This lead to their self-titled debut album which was produced well enough and got its deserved welcome into the reviews. This quickly lead to another album "Apocalyptic Nightmare" which again marked the teutonic thrash sound well and truly into your brain. Soon after, in 1988, their third and final album with Gama Records was released called "Escalation" and it seemed it was going well for the band.

However, in 1988 Honeck (Bass) left the band and was replaced by former roadie Michael "Mörtsch" Mörgelin and the band started to rehearse and write new material for there demo in 1992. But, Mörtsch decided to leave due to personal problems and Bernhard "Erna" Matt was shipped in to record their fourth album "Screams" in 1994 via D & S Records.This album was not as well manufactured as their first three by Gama Records and this lead to a freeze in activity for exposure for the band.

Erna left the band later and was replaced by Alexander Heil which was quickly booted out and replaced by Christian Engler (Destruction). But Englar left before any recordings happened in 1998. They released a couple of demos with this line-up with "...Possessed Again in 2000 and "Live im Sternen" when guitarist Andi joined to cover more range in the riffing department.

The band decided then to have a bassist and called in Mac Meder who recorded with the rest of band for their come back album "Construction of Evil" in 2004. This was released by Remedy Records which was produced and exposed well by the label. The band felt that this was there greatest achievement through there career and the fans thought well of the new release. However, this lead to nothing and bassist Meder left for Andre who quickly disappeared for Jürgen "Jogi" Weltin. Weltin then was replaced by now bassist Alexander Heil.

The band have recently released their sixth album called "Revenge of the Beast" in 2008 via Xtreem Music. The label released a limited double-cd to mark the band's 25th anniversary on the 15th December 2008.

2) Necronomicon is a Death Metal band from Canada. They formed in 1991 in Montreal, Canada. With a few years' down the line eventually getting signed to Unique leader in 1999 and finally releasing their long awaited full-length debut "Pharaoh Of Gods" which lyrical and music basis is around mythology in ancient times. Most recently they have alot of other side projects on and their last follow up album in 2003 "The Sacred Medicines". They came back in 2009, and released an album in 2010 entitled "The Return of the Witch"

3) Necronomicon is a death Metal band from Japan. Whom have released their debut full-length in 2005 called "II : Born Again" and are currently in the studios recording another. They have also done a split with Sonic Agitation, Vacuum , Vio System Divide ,Evylock, Sadistic Eyes and Threat called 'The Red Hot Burning Hell Vol.3' in 2006.

4) 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. They throw in some operatic vocals on several of the tracks; these are most effective in a couple places on "Requiem der Natur" to make the music sound almost like the Slovenian band Laibach. The same piece also offers an industrial droning beginning, some great walking bass soloing, bass and keyboard dueling, and a couple of melancholic folksy interludes. The title track combines proto-punk rhythmic energy with angry guitars and new wave-ish organ tones. The sound quality of this album is a bit rough, but that adds to the charm of the raw energy and despair of this underground Krautrock classic.

5) Necronomicon was an 80s synth-pop-wave/avantgarde band from the Netherlands

6) Necronomicon from Brazil (not to be confused with another band called Necronomicon who basically sound like a copy of Nile) are a total old-school doom rock band who are without a doubt one of the most authentic 70's sounding bands i have ever come across. They are very dark sounding but not like the stoner dirges of Electric Wizard or Saint Vitus, Necronomicon takes their influences and sounds from bands like Black Widow, Coven and Black Sabbath. The warm old organ sounds created by Pedro and the clean guitar sounds of Lillian are so enriched with early 70's earthiness, that this 5 tracker is like a long-lost album from the psychedelic, psych rock era. Even the vocals also made from Pedro have a classic laid back 70's groove about them that makes this band sound even more ancient than Witchcraft, Blood Ceremony and Graveyard. Obviously they are fans of music from that era, they have done a almighty job of recreating the feel of bands from that late 60's to early 70's time-frame. The question is, are they just copying a sound of old hippie rock or making their own mark on the classic sound textures of 40 years ago. I am glad to say its more the latter, Necronomicon have something that makes them unique in today's music market although their sound might be too ancient for some people.
