Necros Christos

The band released three demo and two rehearsal recordings as well as several EPs and singles in the first years. Actually, the first demo Necromantic Doom should be the band's only release. In 2006, the band got signed by Sepulchral Voice Records, and a year later, the debut album Triune Impurity Rites was released.[1]

Soon, the drummer Luciferus Christhammer left the band and was replaced by Raelin Iakhu. Over a period of four years, the musicians worked on their second album Doom of the Occult, which was released in the spring of 2011 and was well received by the press.[2][3]

In 2018, the band published Domedon Doxomedon, the third studio album. It was announced by the band that the album is intended to be their final album.[4] The album peaked at #90 in the German charts.[5]

They announced in 2021 that they are splitting up.[6] Mors Dalos Ra and drummer Iván Hernández would then shift their focus to their Death-thrash project Sijjin.

The music of Necros Christos renounces high speeds, blast beats and demonstrations of the technical skills of the musicians, and instead focuses on "slow, simple, panzer-like heaviness in conjunction with sinister growls and a strange, indefinable occult quality".[7] In the context of the metal subculture, singer and songwriter Mors Dalos Ra sees the band more in the tradition of bands like Black Sabbath and Mercyful Fate in their occult orientation than in the modern-sounding, blastbeat-heavy death metal bands. His musical inspiration, however, comes more from the Eastern folklore, especially Persia, India and the Arab countries. As a further important source he gives Italian and German Baroque music and old occult 1960s / 1970s rock like Coven or Salem Mass, as well as The Jimi Hendrix Experience.[8]

Mors Dalos Ra also writes the lyrics for Necros Christos. While his occult interests and studies are primarily Kabbalah-related,[8] most texts deal with inverted Old Testament stories,[1][8] the Apocalypse in the Apocrypha,[1] ancient middle Eastern cultures, the mysteries of death, necromancy, black masses and copulation,[8] mixed with his own experiences.[1] Mors Dalos Ra explains the name of the band as another name of the amorphous entity of extreme damnation and darkness, the black brother of Christ, who is already known by names such as Ishtar, Ahriman, Shaitan, Satan and Lucifer.[1]
