Necromantik Sunshine was formed in Philadelphia, USA, by
Brian Bordello who was a veteran of the local punk scene and today also runs a
production company called "Transylvanian Terror". Even though you might be
able to trace some minor punk influences in the vocals and guitars on this
album as well he now concentrates on writing intense electronic music
influenced by classic horror movies and bands like Bauhaus and Christian
Death. That means that this album is gloomy and has an eerie feeling which is
exactly what he wants to achieve. I am glad he formed Necromantik Sunshine
because this sure sounds a lot more interesting than I suppose his old punk
bands The Necromantics and Red Wax ever did. The punk music is still in his
heart though and this album even contains a very nice cover of "London
Dungeon" that was originally done by The Misfits (the pre-Danzig band).
Sometimes there is a little bit of a Marilyn Manson wannabe feeling about the
music but in the end this album leaves a pretty nice impression. If you enjoy
gothic rock and lyrics about sex and death Necromantik Sunshine will probably
satisfy your needs.
