Nekromantix, formed in 1989 in Copenhagen by Kim Nekroman (formerly Kim Gaarde), is a psychobilly band known for their fusion of punk rock, rockabilly, and horror-inspired themes. Nekroman, originally a Danish Navy submarine operator, built a signature coffin-shaped upright bass and developed the band's unique sound. The band has released nine studio albums, including their U.S. debut Return of the Loving Dead in 2002, which helped establish their presence in North America. Their music, characterized by energetic performances and dark humor, has made them a staple in the psychobilly scene.
Though the lineup has changed over time, with Nekroman as the only constant member, the band continues to tour and release music. Notably, Nekroman also collaborates with his wife, Patricia Day, in the rockabilly band HorrorPops. The band's enduring appeal lies in its ability to mix macabre themes with fast-paced, punk-infused melodies, cementing their place as pioneers in psychobilly.
