The Profile

Nekromantix are a Danish psychobilly band formed in 1989 in Copenhagen by bassist/vocalist Kim Nekroman (Kim Gaarde). Known for horror-soaked lyrics and a custom coffin-shaped upright bass, they’ve become one of the genre’s flagship acts.

Formed in 1989 in Copenhagen by Kim Nekroman (Kim Gaarde); famed for a custom coffin-shaped upright bass; a leading psychobilly group with horror-centric themes; released records on labels including Hellcat Records.

A single, glowing review hails Nekromantix as psychobilly’s darkest delight: Danish roots, horror-soaked mood, and a very serious take on the genre. Highlights include the bowed double bass intro of Save My Grave and the iconic Coffin Bass. Verdict: fun yet fascinatingly gloomy—and possibly the best in the field.

Notable Quotes
