Formed as a project to showcase the musical abilities of Christopher Howard Lincoln and Colleen Bortscheller, Necronom was born in the early part of 1994. Some song material was written, with lyrical content discussed and partly implemented. The future of the band appeared very promising at this point, as the two had found that their musical and artistic ideas were more than compatible.
Unfortunately, towards the end of that first year of collaboration, Colleen Bortscheller was killed in a sudden and tragic accident. She was only seventeen years old at the time.
Determined not to let any of their musical ideas fall by the wayside and become forgotten, Christopher Howard Lincoln decided to simply push onward with the project. It had been transformed midstream from a team effort into a solo outlet for his grief and a means at reconciling with the cruel twists that fate can deal us all.
The songs of Necronom have become a journey down the path of one man's mental and spiritual struggle with the death of a loved one. They are filled with revelations of beauty and ugliness, purest bliss and the darkest depths of pain.
