Editorial Reviews

Necrophobic was formed in Stockholm, Sweden the year 1989 by guitarist David Parland and drummer Joakim Sterner to give the world a band that created unholy death metal. Around this time, most bands played death metal in the veins of Carcass, Napalm Death etc. Necrophobic had a bit different influences and focused more on to create a much more dark and evil sounding music, in the beginning influenced by Morbid Angel, Slayer and Bathory. Necrophobic felt reborn and started to complete the material for the 4th full length album. Feeling fresh air into the band, having a new record label that the band feel have great potentials and do the band justice, the writing of the new material went very easy. In short, the new album "Bloodhymns" is quite equal to "The Third Antichrist", but with a far more aggressive and heavier production. Ten songs that will make you bleed 'til death! The northern warriors have returned to conquer!!!

I can't believe how under-rated these guys are! Since I get to be the first reviewer, I will blow it up. Yes, this is the 2nd best Necrophobic release. The guitar work is once again devastating, the riffs are equal parts evil and catchy - exactly what you want with Death Metal. The drumming is great, and more extreme than their other releases. On their debut, there was not one blast beat. Now they use the blasting regularly, and it fits perfect. The vocals are out of control, they are just SICK! The bassist (Tobias) took over on vocals after "The Nocturnal Silence" and I like his vocals even better than Anders (the vocalist on their debut...) The sound quality is a little more compressed than their other releases, in other words, it's less separated but more tight. If you like: Suffocation, Soul Reaper, Dissection, Dark Tranquility, or Decapitated, you will enjoy Necrophobic
