Admirers of blackened death metal can always rely upon NECROPHOBIC to keep things simple. Ever since the release of the instantly iconic "The Nocturnal Silence" (1993),  these stalwarts of the underground have sustained their uncompromising vision of extremity, rarely deviating from the blueprint that they helped to create. At the same time, NECROPHOBIC have proved themselves more substantial and enduring than many of their peers. A big, destructive and profoundly blackened metal band with a mercilessly direct songwriting approach, they have become one of the biggest names in the scene, both through seminal albums like "The Third Antichrist" (1999) and "Hrimthursum" (2006),  and via the intensity of their live shows. Proof that meat and potatoes can be turned into something delicious, with the guiding hand of Satan, NECROPHOBIC are in many ways the definitive blackened death metal army.

In recent times, the Swedish/Dutch crew have played to their strengths. Both "Mark Of The Necrogram" (2018) and "Dawn of The Damned" (2020) were big-sounding and authoritative metal records, as guitarist and chief songwriter Sebastian Ramstedt further refined the band's sound, while stoically resisting the urge to experiment or branch out into anything other than feverish, black-hearted brutality.
