    " NecroMantra" is a musical attempt to explore the world of alchemists, magicians and necromancers at the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning new era (16th century).
      The 14 songs of the CD form a kind of concept album. The central character is the alchemist who tries to understand the meaning of the world and reaches the limits of experience and knowlwdge. This Faustian situation results in an expression of doubt and the state of "Ataraxia" (track 14), as we know it from the Stoic doctrine.
      Tough the music of this CD can easily be enjoyed without the knowledge of the intellectual background, it nevertheless has been shaped by the reflections on religion, philosophy and cultural history by Marcator, a studied historian and philosopher. This is also why "NecroMantra" is Marcators first album to feature vocal titles and samples of early Christian chorales and Malayan chanting.
