Part gilded ghost story, part synthy melancholia…
this single signals a new creative direction for Alex Hendrix’s music. Produced in Huntsville by Johnny Okwu, Necromantic pulls inspiration from cinematic hauntings and vivid Victorian imagery as an allegory for coming to terms with grief. Serving as a love letter to Gothic Romance literature, Necromantic lyrically and musically mimics the genre’s hallmark use of atmospheric descriptors, intense emotions and dark omens to create a world where anything could be lurking around the next corner.

lyrics
English ivy, weeping mortar, marble floors and candlelight
But it’s all just smoke and mirrors, ghosts and glimmers, bumps at night
And I don’t know what I thought I’d find
They say this place is haunted and I’m starting to believe it
There’s a whisper I keep hearing and it’s floating through the halls
Familiar and wonted and I try my best to leave it
But it pulls me back in, fearing that I’m trapped inside these walls
Dusty pages, dead romantics, furtive glances, fading light
Weaving through the old hedge mazes, secret places we would hide
And I think I might be lost this time
They say this place is haunted and tonight babe, I believe it
There’s a message keeps appearing on the portraits in the hall
It’s chilling and it’s wanton, somehow no one else can see it
Somewhere old church bells are ringing out a death knell that you’re gone
I thought I saw you on the parapet, like you were waiting there for me
But when I looked back there was nothing left, the same decaying scene
Just look at how the garden’s overgrown
It’s dangerous to be here all alone
I think I might be haunted, oh by now it’s not a secret
There’s a scratching I keep hearing coming from inside the walls
There’s crashes in the courtyard, something stirring in the distance
It’s a specter, it’s a spirit and it looks like what I’ve lost
