Necrophobic is a Swedish blackened death metal band.
History
The band was formed in 1989 by drummer Joakim Sterner and now-deceased guitarist David Parland. It is believed that the band named themselves after a Slayer song from the 1986 seminal album Reign in Blood. The pair played with a 'revolving door' lineup of musicians until the permanent addition of bassist Tobias Sidegård. This addition occurred prior to recording their debut 7-inch single, The Call, in early 1992.
With this lineup and the addition of Anders Strokirk on vocals, who replaced Stefan Harrvik (who had sung on the Unholy Prophecies demo and The Call 7-inch EP), the band entered Sunlight Studio in March 1993 and recorded their debut album The Nocturnal Silence. The band had previously worked with the Wild Rags label and store for its singles.
Following the addition of second guitarist Martin Halfdahn, Necrophobic released a four-song extended play, Spawned by Evil, in 1996. This was a teaser for the full-length release, Darkside, which came out later that same year. This album featured a guest appearance by
The band announced their new album release for Womb of Lilithu which was released on October 25, 2013, in Europe and October 29, 2013, in the United States.[2]
In July 2020, the band announced the release of their album Dawn of the Damned on October 9.[3]
Necrophobic's tenth studio album, In the Twilight Grey, was released on March 15, 2024.[4]
