Necrophobic release new single/video 'Stormcrow' • GRIMM Gent

With their 10th studio album, “In the Twilight Grey” that is scheduled for a release on March 15^th, 2024 via Century Media Records, Swedish blackened death metal masters NECROPHOBIC are taking an even deeper plunge into pitch black shadows. Last Friday marked the release of the first song and video, “Stormcrow”. Make sure to watch the video that was directed by Claudio Marino for Artax Film:

The band comments:

“‘Stormcrow’ was one of the first songs written for the new album. The idea was to take the very classic NECROPHOBIC elements and blend them with a slow paced bridge with a strong heavy metal feel. The lyrical theme is about a wounded beast rising from the depths who lays his trust in a winged so called ‘truth sayer’. Maybe we should be careful about letting the stormcrows carry our words to the world…”

With over thirty years of active, nefarious service under their spikes and bulletbelts, NECROPHOBIC are undisputed legends of the death and black metal scene. Formed in 1989 by drummer Joakim Sterner, the Stockholm blackhearts propagated a singular and fearless vision from the very start. Eschewing the self-conscious amateurism and primitive sonics that many of their peers held dear, NECROPHOBIC established a bold and vivid identity of their own, conjuring a densely melodic, but endlessly wicked take on macabre extreme metal that countless lesser bands have since emulated. You can take a deep dive into their history via the rereleases of their entire back catalogue that Century Media Records made available in 2022.

Yet again “In the Twilight Grey” was produced, mixed and mastered by Fredrik Folkare (of death metal icons Unleashed) at Chrome Studios, Stockholm and engineered in close collaboration by Folkare and the band themselves. For the artwork they teamed up with Jens Rydén, another like-minded institution from the Swedish scene.
