Short bio:
Legends of the night. Demons of the dark. NECROPHOBIC have been wringing blood and bile from the hangman’s noose since 1989. Arch purveyors of a uniquely vicious and vital strain of blackened death metal, the Swedish quintet have amassed an imperious catalogue of arcane horrors over the
last three decades. Making an immediate impression with their classic 1993 debut “The Nocturnal Silence”, they have thrived in creative fits and spurts, often disappearing into the shadows for long periods, but always returning with another densely atmospheric paean to Hell’s depths.

Known as a fearsome live band, with countless tours and festival appearances to their ignominious name, NECROPHOBIC have mastered a combination of macabre imagery and pitch-black poetry, powered by the old school spirit, but delivered with a tyrannical, cutting edge intensity. Following in the footsteps of certified classics like “The Third Antichrist” (1999) and “Hrimthursum” (2006), the band’s most recent recorded works have seen them expand their vision and pursue a more cerebral course. Both “Mark Of The Necrogram” (2018) and “Dawn Of The Damned” (2020) were celebrated as new benchmarks for unholy extremity, as the Swedish band’s long-time relationship with producer Fredrik Folkare propelled all involved to a new peak of potency. Although touring plans were inevitably thwarted by the Covid pandemic, NECROPHOBIC were clearly on the greatest of form and growing in confidence and power. Frustrated by the premature cessation of touring in support of “Dawn Of The Damned”, guitarist, chief songwriter and conceptual visionary Sebastian Ramstedt was determined to drag something new and exhilarating from the ashes of his band’s plans, even if it took longer than expected.
