Necropolis (4)

Gothic rock band from Kiev, Ukraine. No longer active. In 2004 former members started Dollheads. Dollheads is a side project of one of the Ukraine's most popular gothic formations - Necropolis. In the beginning of the 90s Necropolis was the first and the only gothic rock group in Ukraine combining gothic rock and dark wave with the ethnic elements and English lyrics created by Vladyslav Galynskyi. The Ukrainian Gothic Portal began cooperating (partial info-producing and promoting) with the band in 2000. In 2003, during the first part of the "Ukrainian Gothic Compilation", Necropolis presented its track "Ukrainian Gothic", which became the theme song of the CD and incited the interest towards the group on the part of the international audience. In 2004, upon the suggestion of the Poland's largest underground labels SPV Poland and Big Blue Records, the track "Challenger" was included in the collection of the Eastern Europe's best gothic groups "Dark East" (together with Komu Vnyz and Gray/Scale), and was recognized as one of the most original songs.
