Hellcat, Intermusic, Record Music, E.The band's name is a portmanteau of the words "necromancy" and "romantics," with an "x" in place of the ending letters "cs."Guitarist Peter Sandorff, another founding member, served two stints in the band: from its founding in 1989 until 1993, and again from 1997 to 2005.During his second stay in the band's lineup his brother Kristian Sandorff served as drummer.In 2003 Nekroman relocated to Los Angeles while the Sandorffs remained in Denmark, and in 2005 the brothers left the band.The Nekromantix' official logo is styled after a coffin.It appears on nearly all their albums and related merchandise.The Nekromantix were formed in 1989 in Copenhagen by Kim Nekroman after he left the Danish Navy, in which he had spent eight years as a submarine radio operator.Initially consisting of Nekroman, guitarist Paolo Molinari and drummer Jens Brygman, the band took the name Nekromantix.By the time of the band's first recordings, Molinari and Brygman had been replaced respectively by Peter Sandorff and Sebastian, who used the pseudonym Peek.After only six months of practice and two local performances in Copenhagen at the Stengade 30 club, the Nekromantix appeared at large psychobilly festival in Hamburg, Germany.Their performance earned them a recording contract with Tombstone Records for their first album Hellbound.In 1991 the band released their second album Curse of the Coffin through Nervous Records and supported it with a music video for the title track which received some play on the MTV program Alternative Nation.They were replaced by guitarist Jan Daggry and drummer Tim Kristensen, who used the stage names Ian Dawn ("Dawn" being an English translation of the Danish name Daggry) and Grim Tim Handsome.This lineup recorded the album Brought Back to Life, released in 1994, which earned a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Heavy Metal Album."They began to achieve cult status in the United States, where their albums were as yet only available as imports.At a 1996 festival in Cologne, Germany Nekroman met fellow Copenhagen native Patricia Day, with whom he launched a new band called HorrorPops with himself on guitar and Day on double bass and lead vocals.The two would later marry, and their activity with HorrorPops put the Nekromantix on hold for several years, during which Kristensen and Petersen both left the band.International success
