The Necromantia 8-string genius is said to be dead by heart attack.

Today, the sad news is that a genius behind the one of the most respected hordes from Greece is dead. Makis aka Baron Blood, 8-string bassist and keyboardist of Necromantia died today of an allegedly hard attack leaving a legacy of pure black metal alongside his bandmate and Necromantia‘s mastermind Magus Wampyr or simply The Magus.

Said the Magus on the band’s official account

This is a sad day for NECROMANTIA.

Baron Blood left this world. His soul now roams free to other wolds (SIC) and dimensions. His spirit will live forever in our hearts and his music will remind us what a great artist he was….ride free my friend…

Alongside his idiosyncratic way to play bass (listen to his personal mark in the classic Necromantia album Crossing The Fiery Path) Makis also was sound engineer for the Naer Mataron‘s album 2005 album Discipline Manifesto and Soulskinner‘s 2003 debut album Breeding the Grotesque. He also made stints in the very same album as a bass-player alongside Bill Zobolas and Gothmog (both from Thou Art Lord that has his Necromantia‘s bandmate The Magus and Sakis Tolis from renowned black metallers Rotting Christ.)

Before Soulskinner he played with the very same formation in the band Terra Tenebrae that changed name.

He played in all releases from the almighty Necromantia. Other personal information cannot be reached by Dark Souls United.
