-NECROSHADE'S ORIGINAL LINEUP-
BELLA DARKHEART, the lead singer of the hard rock band NECROSHADE, came forth from the shadows with raven-black hair cascading over her often leather-clad shoulders. Her piercing, enchanting gaze holds a hypnotic intensity as she belts out the band's haunting lyrics. With a voice that resonates such dark and compelling beauty, Bella sometimes channels the pain of a betrayed lover seeking vengeance.
Draped in tattered, onyx garments, sometimes adorned with spikes and chains, she embodies the macabre allure of the night. Bella’s stage presence is a mysterious dance of shadows revealing glimpses of her haunted past. Each lyric she sings tells a tale of heartbreak, deceit, and the burning desire for retribution against a faithless lover. Offstage, Bella is an enigmatic figure, seldom seen without the shroud of darkness that cloaks her complicated personal life. Whispers of her curious past fuel the intrigue surrounding her, leaving fans captivated by the aura of a vengeful spirit trapped within the vessel of an enchantingly beautiful woman.
GRIM BONES is the brilliant bass player for NECROSHADE, and is known for his memorable, thunderous bass lines and excellent song writing abilities. Grim commands the stage often with a signature coffin upright bass, channeling darkness into every note.
Beyond the stage persona, Grim Bones has harbored a tumultuous struggle with addiction, a haunting contrast to his musical prowess. His personal demons echo in the depths of NECROSHADE'S visceral sound, adding a raw intensity to their performances.
Outside the music realm, Grim has been rumored to delve into the dark side of life, perhaps drawing inspiration from forbidden realms to infuse a mystical essence into many of NECROSHADE'S sonic rituals. A sometimes black hooded figure, Grim Bones stands as a living embodiment of the shadows that fuel the band’s macabre aesthetic, casting a spell on audiences who dare to enter their realm of heavy metal madness.
GRAVE HOWLER, the paradoxical presence within NECROSHADE, stands as the lone believer in Christianity amidst the band’s complicated dark tapestry. Unyielding in his faith, Grave remains steadfast, navigating the dark currents of the heavy metal realm while avoiding some of the band’s arcane practices.
Distinguished by his sometimes heavy-drinking demeanor and womanizing charm, Grave Howler brings a unique dynamic to NECROSHADE, a juxtaposition of sacred and sometimes a bit profane. Devoted to the music, he engages in the band’s sonic rituals with fervor, channeling his beliefs and very candid honesty into his powerful lyrics and haunting melodies that help define NECROSHADE'S sound.
In the midst of the band’s haunting performances, Grave Howler’s charismatic stage presence captivates audiences, his raspy vocals echoing tales of both damnation and redemption. As the spiritual outlier in NECROSHADE, he carves a niche that enriches the band’s mystique, ensuring that even in the depths of darkness, a glimmer of light and hope persists through Grave Howler’s unwavering faith and hope.
PHANTOM PAIN, the relentless drummer of NECROSHADE, bravely steps into the cursed legacy that shadows the percussion throne. As the second to bear the ominous moniker, Phantom Pain wears the mantle with a stoic determination, drumming on the precipice of fate. The role, shrouded in a dark legacy, claimed a predecessor in a tragic demise, yet Phantom Pain persists, driven by an insatiable passion for the infernal beats of NECROSHADE'S brilliant songs.
Notorious for his uncanny ability to emerge from each show with a new injury, Phantom Pain becomes a living testament to the band’s ominous aura. His drumming unleashes a chaotic energy, leaving a trail of physical toll that mirrors the band’s bruising musical intensity.
Behind the kit, Phantom Pain becomes a spectral force, melding rhythm and affliction into a seamless cacophony. As the ominous beat master of NECROSHADE, he not only embraces the legacy of his very early predecessor but transcends it, leaving a trail of both musical and physical scars on his path to heavy metal immortality.
-NECROSHADE LYRICS-
Verse 1
You thought you could get away with it
you thought you could cheat on me and forget
but now you're in for a really big surprise
cuz I'm back from the grave and you won't survive.
Verse 2
You see me in your dreams every night
you hear me in your ears all the time
you feel me in your bones everyday
you try and hide but you won't get away.
Chorus
You're haunted by me
you can't escape my wrath
you're haunted by me
you'll feel all the pain I had
you're haunted by me
I'll never let it be
you're haunted by me
you'll never be free.
Bridge
You can't fool me because I know just where you are
you can't run away because I'll follow no matter how far
you can't escape me because I'll catch you instead
you can't kill me because I'm already dead.
Verse 1
High Sierra roads
the car radio plays
summer nights were long
even longer than those summer days
sleeping bags in the trunk
her perfect smile on passenger side
arriving at a dark forest grove
after a long and dangerous ride.
Verse 2
With the car top down
the smell of fresh mountain pine
we listened to our favorite tunes
and drank a lot of our favorite wine
her dark enchanting eyes
I was lost within the spell
was our love just an illusion
it was hard for me to tell.
Verse 3
The smell of her dark brown hair
the feel of her body on mine
ignoring the simple truth
it was easy to be so blind
looking far into the heavens
knowing our future wasn’t bright
holding her for the last time
shadows forming in the moonlight
Chorus
Moonlight shines, moonlight betrays
an ominous sign that lights your way
beautiful in the dark but it never stays
it reminds me of you because you've gone away.

Lightning
Verse 1
He played his famed bass with skill and fire
being in a rock band was his greatest desire
he had a dark passion for that heavy metal sound
but he didn't realize the curse he'd also found.
Verse 2
He rocked the stage with all of his power
he hypnotized the crowd in his final hour
he was playing the last song as his fingers bled
when a bolt of lightning stuck his bowed head.
Chorus
He was cursed by the lightning
he was marked by a killer storm
he was doomed to meet his end
on that fateful night that he performed.
Bridge
No one knows why he was the one
no one knows the truth of what he'd done
some say he had made a very dark deal
with the devil himself for his musical skill.
Verse 3
He left behind a tall tale and more in his wake
he left behind a hard mystery to try and break
he left us a question that we all must answer
as he departed this world for the dark hereafter.
Suffer In Love
Verse 1
In trouble so deep,
trapped by love's cruel grip,
I'm no longer free,
enduring this endless trip.
Verse 2
Deceitful dreams, silent cries,
moonlit tears from love's demise,
giving up with no hope from above,
I'm suffering here, I suffer in love.
Chorus
Suffering in love, the memories are pain,
drowning in the dark only nightmares remain,
still longing for you, you're all I think of,
I suffer from you, I suffer in love.
Verse 3
So many painful wounds unseen,
then again, another haunting dream,
lost in a labyrinth, a sad story untold,
a tale of betrayal of a love gone cold.
Verse 4
As the curtain closes and the shadows fade,
there's not even a prayer for us I'm afraid,
waiting in the depths with no hope from above,
remembering your last words, I suffer in love.
Repeat Chorus
Suffering in love, the memories are pain,
drowning in the dark only nightmares remain,
still longing for you, you're all I think of,
I suffer from you, I suffer in love.
Dying Light
Verse 1
Unbendable bars, dim and falling stars
isolation kills, better where you are
words of a new song lie crumpled on the floor
unable to find the strength to write of this no more.
Verse 2
A candle on the wall begging more and more for life
losing its steady burn, losing its winless fight
dark shadows move across the room
knowing that its time
the end of all, the war of it
never will I find.
Chorus
Dying light, dying light
I'm losing all the will to fight
dying light, dying light
only darkness and the night.
Verse 3
In a cell of my own making
having lost the will to fight
now thinking of the final words
I know I need to write.
Cursed By Love
Verse 1
In the shadows where darkness thrives
a love we pursued with our broken lives
a twisted tale of two hearts entwined
I'm haunted by you, never out of my mind.
Verse 2
Through moonless nights a hopeless chase
searching for you and one last embrace
a desperate heart longing for your affection
but I only got lies and misdirection.
Chorus
Cursed by love with so much pain unspoken
in the darkness here where hearts are broken
a mad love affair consumed by passion's fire
cursed by love and our own selfish desires.
Bridge
After your lying words the poison spread
a vengeful vow that all lover's dread
cursed by the one who turned you away
trapped in her web and forever I'll stay.
Verse 3
One more drink but certainly not the last
love's illusion has been shattered so fast
the cursed one now seeks their revenge
hunting for the heart that wouldn't bend.
Verse 4
In the bitter end where love surely dies
a faithful soul now just whispers and cries
with haunting memories of great despair
cursed by your love and nobody cares.
Repeat Chorus
Cursed by love with so much pain unspoken
in the darkness here where hearts are broken
a mad love affair consumed by passion's fire
cursed by love and our own selfish desires.

Too Late
Verse 1
I can't believe all the painful words you said
a testament against a love now gone and dead
and now its too late for us, I am now lost
such a terrible mistake with such a high cost.
Verse 2
I won't ever see your dark eyes again
what you did to us was really such a sin
our love was worth more than you did give
and now I'm gone my love, I no longer live.
Chorus
Too late, too late
it doesn't matter now what you say
too late, too late
it doesn't matter now anyway
too late, too late
no chance to change our fate
too late, too late
my love, you came too late.
Verse 3
No chance to change what's now left behind
when I was alive you just didn't have the time
so all your words today spoken at my grave
are just a waste of time and are all in vain.
Verse 4
I'm laying underground only darkness now
no comfort here, not even a subtle sound,
a single rose upon a stone you now place,
but I'll never know, you came too late.
Chorus
Too late, too late
it doesn't matter now what you say
too late, too late
it doesn't matter now anyway
too late, too late
no chance to change our fate
too late, too late
my love, you came too late.
Outro
All the regret and pain are yours to keep,
my love you'll always be haunted by me.
Grave Stalker
Verse 1
In the dark shadows a soul descends
a grave stalker, abandoned by friends
one foot in the grave, the other in chains
lost in a world where his addiction reigns.
Verse 2
His bloodshot eyes, a sad haunted gaze
a prisoner of vice trapped in a daze
his life in chaos, nothing matters at all
this grave stalker, he's bound to fall.
Chorus
Grave stalker, he is dancing with the dead
chasing his demons with a price on his head
a relentless spiral, and his relentless crave
with every fix he's pulled closer to the grave.
Verse 3
The needle whispers, a deadly serenade
in a tomb of addiction his dreams decayed
a silent scream, a hard rain begins to fall
one last fix as the reaper calls.
Verse 4
Drowning in the poison, a soul's demise
grave stalking alone under addiction's lies
haunted by shadows, his debts soon will be paid
a familiar graveyard where soon he'll be laid.
Chorus
Grave stalker, he is dancing with the dead
chasing his demons with a price on his head
a relentless spiral, and his relentless crave
with every fix he's pulled closer to the grave.
Verse 5
Grave stalker, he's now taking his final breath
such an unfortunate life so entangled with death
in the silence near a tomb no hope to be saved
this cautionary tale of the grave stalker's grave.

Jealousy
Verse 1
I see you every day with him
though he treats you like trash
he hits you and hurts you a lot
but you always take him back.
Verse 2
I watch you from a distance
I can't stand to see you suffer
I really want to make you mine
only when is what I wonder.
Chorus
Why can't you see
that he's no good for you
why can't you see
I'm the one that's true
why can't you see
that he's the enemy
why can't you see
that you belong to me.
Bridge
I just can't take it anymore
I have to end the jealousy and pain
I'm finally sure of what's in store
you'll never be with him again.
Verse 3
I wait for you outside your door
with a sharp knife in my hand
I see him walking beside you
I know its time to take a stand.
Verse 4
I stab him in the chest
he falls slowly to the ground
you scream and run straight to him
just as if I was not around.
Verse 5
I suddenly realize what I've done
I'm sure I've lost you now forever
so I turn the knife upon myself
because I know we'll never be together.
Repeat Chorus
Why can't you see
that he's no good for you
why can't you see
I'm the one that's true
why can't you see
that he's the enemy
why can't you see
that you belong to me.
Lost Vegas
Verse 1
Driving all night
I can see the city lights,
reminding me of you,
wanting someone to hold on to,
like you and I were, missing her.
Verse 2
Checking into a room,
many stories above, lost without love
darkness surrounds, what can I do,
nothing's the same without you.
Chorus
In Lost Vegas
here I am looking for you,
your ghost still haunts me
I wish it’d break through
I just want to see you again
no matter what, no matter when.
Verse 3
Bar lights low, I wish I could go
where she is, out in the street,
the world is a stranger,
not the way we were, I still care for her.
Verse 4
I see her eyes, no its someone else,
reminding of how I always felt,
such a foolish heart, so far from home,
back to the room, but not alone,
with memory of the truest love
I cannot hold.
Verse 5
Gin, my fateful friend,
drinking all night again till the light of day,
I know its not the way, but letting go of you,
is so hard to do, with so much left to say.
Ouija
Verse 1
David lost his girl in a terrible car crash
he was left alone and now he's fatally sad
he misses her so much every day and night
he just wishes he could bring her back to life.
Verse 2
And then he found an old Ouija board
hidden away in an upper attic room
he asked it if there was any way
he could end all the pain and gloom.
Chorus
The Ouija board said yes there is
but you just might have to pay a price
go to her grave at midnight tonight
if you wish to again be by her side.
Always be careful what you wish for
you might not always like what you find
the Ouija board has a very dark side
it can play tricks with your heart and mind.
Verse 3
He decided to follow the board's advice
even with a fierce storm rolling in outside
he just wanted to see her and no longer feel lost
he didn't care about the consequence or cost.
Verse 4
He waited at her grave in the cold wind and rain
he almost made it all night but she never came
he felt so sick with a deadly chill in his bones
he realized too late he was never going home.
Verse 5
He died before dawn on her rain-soaked grave
he got what he wanted but in such a tragic way
they soon buried him there right next to her
together again but not in the way that he'd prefer.

Enchantress
Verse 1
In the shadows of the night she prowls
with a gaze that bewitches and wows
her whispers chant ancient charms
drawing men straight into her arms.
With a flick of her wrist, a sultry glance
she weaves a web, a forbidden dance
with every step she enchants and enthralls
capturing hearts within her walls.
Chorus
She puts the romance in necromance
with a spellbinding, hypnotic trance
her allure is dark, her touch intense
she’s a mistress of seductive suspense.
Verse 2
In the moonlight her silhouette gleams
as she casts her spells and weaves her dreams
her potions brew and they open the door
binding souls to her forevermore.
Through the mist and haze she’ll appear
whispering secrets only he can hear
with a dark kiss, she seals his fate
as he succumbs to her enchanting bait.
Bridge
In her arms he’s lost in ecstasy
bound to her for eternity
she’s a siren of the night
drawing him deeper into her delights.
Repeat chorus
She puts the romance in necromance
with a spellbinding, hypnotic trance
her allure is dark, her touch intense
she’s a mistress of seductive suspense.
Outro
So beware the enchantress with her mystic glance
who puts the romance in necromance.
Whiskey and blood
Verse 1
Chasing over and over the same broken dreams
staring at an empty glass more and more it seems
trying hard to lose the pictures of you in my head
though I try I still see your dark eyes instead.
Verse 2
Bartender orders another shot for the pain
for you he says another one of the same
neon glowing, memories flowing
bleeding far into the past
over and over, hardly ever sober
how much longer will this last.
Chorus
Only whiskey and blood
no more waiting for your worthless love
as hopeless as one left drowning in a flood
with no chance for us, only whiskey and blood.
Verse 3
3 am, sleepless night again
hearing your soft voice in the rain
reoccurring dreams
the long and endless scenes
of losing you again.
Verse 4
In a quiet room I cannot move
the ghost of your face at the end
no matter how hard I tried
your words goodbye
rang over and over again
Verse 5
In a pool of red
on the floor near the bed
an old photograph of you
how sad it is to have come to this
what else was I to do.
Deceitful Dream
Verse 1
The pale moonlight whispers
dark illusions now in sight
the truth of deception is revealed
no longer veiled in the night.
The bonds of trust are shattered
like a fine glass they do break
the nightmare I had about us
now realizing my mistake.
Chorus
That deceitful dream of you
like a knife right in the heart
I don't trust you anymore
and our love's so torn apart
a sad melody of betrayal
echos ominous in the dark
like our favorite song would say
we were so wrong from the start.
Verse 2
A lonely guitar solo weeps
the notes are screaming out in pain
a love that once was so vibrant
now just drowning in disdain.
So disrespectful you were of us
I have to end this relentless strife
the shadows of betrayal still haunt
and consume my daily life.
Verse 3
In the aftermath of us
the poetry and music now subside
far worse than a knife in the heart
loving you was suicide.
Repeat Chorus
That deceitful dream of you
why did you break my heart
I don't trust you anymore
our love's so torn apart
a sad melody of betrayal
echos ominous in the dark
like our favorite song does say
we were so wrong from the start.
Run Devil Run
(Verse 1)
In the heart of New Orleans under a crescent moon,
a man seeks some kind of charm to end his gloom.
with money in hand to a voodoo shop he's led,
there he saw a bottle "Keep evil at bay" it said.
(Verse 2)
A few drops put on his doorstep should do fine,
a barrier against all evil, like a protective sign.
but as dusk falls and the stars start to spin,
the strange potion activates and the devil grins.
(Chorus)
Run devil run, you must heed this lore,
the potion’s the key that opens the door.
run devil run, maybe you're inviting it in,
the door only opens and can’t be closed again.
(Verse 3)
The old walls start to shiver, the air turns cold,
a sinister laughter and the darkness takes hold.
the man now realizes, the charm's twisted jest,
he's opened his door to an unwelcome guest.
(Bridge)
It's become obvious, no more creeping doubt,
the potion's promise he's definitely without.
a bottle of malice dressed up as a friend,
inviting the very devil himself to come in.
(SOLO)
(Verse 4)
Remember this tale about a man undone,
beware the potion called "Run devil run"
for the charm that promises to keep evil away,
might just invite it in forever to stay.
(Chorus 2)
Run devil run, like playing with a loaded gun,
he wanted protection but a curse has begun.
run devil run, too late the deed is now done,
the potion was a lie and evil has won.
Hecatomb
(Verse 1)
In the middle of the stage where spotlight’s glow,
a man stands alone with a dilemma to sow.
his main focus and desire are success and fame,
but the toll it demands, he does fear to name.
(Verse 2)
A pact he secured, making a deal with fate,
success right now, love must certainly wait.
the woman he adores is like a dark star,
unrequited love and a haunting scar.
(Chorus)
Hecatomb of choices, a sacrifice untold,
weighing his options, a story yet to unfold.
he’d trade it all gladly for a true love confessed,
but a heartache lingers like a knife in his chest.
(Bridge)
Strings of dilemma, strumming the chords,
echoes of longing, a never-ending chore,
to sacrifice his dreams and to mend a heart,
a labyrinth to journey, where does he start?
(Chorus)
Hecatomb of choices, a sacrifice untold,
weighing his options, a story yet to unfold.
he’d trade it all gladly, if only she’d confess,
but a heartache lingers like a knife in his chest.
(Verse 3)
As the spotlight dims, and the stage is bare,
he contemplates the sacrifice and the weight it bears.
success may come and the applause may roar,
yet, love’s absence will echo on forevermore.
(Outro)
In the darkness of night decisions last forever,
he stands alone with this pain he cannot sever
with a hecatomb of choices, and a melody so sad,
he lost his life and dreams with nothing left to be had.
The End of Forever
Verse 1
You played bass with a fire in your soul,
living so fast you thought you'd never grow old,
in the shadows you thought you'd found your place,
embracing the dark side but it wasn't safe.
Verse 2
We rode the storm together side by side,
but now I'm left with only the tears that I cry,
echos of your laughter slowly begin to fade,
left alone in silence and I'm so afraid.
Chorus
This is the end of forever,
you thought you'd live on no matter whatever,
but now I'm left here in so much pain,
facing life alone without you again.
Verse 3
So many nights under those neon bar lights,
you danced with danger burning way too bright,
in the haze of your addiction, you lost your way,
and I'm left alone with words I can't even say.
Bridge
The stage is empty, and the lights are dim,
I still hear your voice like a haunting hymn,
in every note and in every song,
your spirit will live on though you're gone.
Verse 4
So, I’ll play your songs and keep the flame,
in the darkness I’ll still whisper your name,
though you're not here you will never fade,
in my restless heart you will always stay.
Repeat Chorus
But this is the end of forever,
you thought you'd live on no matter whatever,
but now I'm left here in so much pain,
facing life alone without you again.
