New Alternatives III



There are multiple artists with this name: 1) Nekromantik was a goth / darkwave / dark electro duo from Shrewsbury, UK. They appeared on various compilations such as The Gothic Sounds of Nightbreed series. After moving to Shrewsbury in the mid 1990s, Roi Robertson effectively split his original band up, but went on to form proto cyber-goth duo Nekromantik with Shrewsbury based singer and lyricist Martin White. Roi met Martin whilst playing keyboards briefly for Martin's goth band Deadboy Craved in 1995, and out of the ashes of that band they worked together from early 1996 until the end of 1998, putting out four demo tapes, then releasing a CD album titled Fairycatcher and an EP titled Dress It Up in Monochrome. After moving to the exciting multi-dimensional, multi-cultural mecca that is London in 1996, Roi began feeling ever more inspired to concentrate on writing and performing his own music/lyrics more, rather than co-write. After a visit to Martin's flat around Xmas 1998 to watch a video of them playing live in Belgium, which was to be their final performance together, he felt the time was right to cease activities. 2) Nekromantik is a black metal founded in 2016 in Lima, Peru.
