Widely regarded as a buried classic, Nekromantix’s fourth album, Demons Are A Girl’s Best Friend, is ready to once again haunt the world with some of the best in punk-inspired horror mayhem!
Formed by former submarine radio operator Kim Nekroman in Copenhagen in 1989, the Danish-American Nekromantix needed just a handful of gigs to establish themselves at the forefront of the psychobilly movement – a status they retain today.
Both visually and musically, Nekromantix were, and remain, an astonishing experience. Who, after all, can forget the first time they saw Nekroman’s legendary coffinbass – an upright bass shaped like a casket? Or the first time they heard the band thundering out of the speakers?
Recorded with drummer Tim Kristensen and guitarist Søren Petersen, Demons Are A Girl’s Best Friend catapults both experiences back to the forefront of the mind, a thumping, driving invocation of all that is great about grisly ghouls and dancing with demons.
With all new artwork and digitally remastered audio, the vinyl pressing marks the album’s first ever release in that format in the USA. The CD bonus tracks, meanwhile, include the band’s mach one recasting of the Doors’ “Light My Fire,” a 1996 b-side that remains one of Nekromantix’s most treasured releases.
