A sweet keyboard melody trickles in. A feeling of dread arises with every passing note as we are enveloped by the eerie atmosphere. A buzzing guitar riff crashes in, mimicking the soft melody. The tension culminates - and explodes with a howling scream as all the instruments are unleashed, filling the nocturnal silence with a flood of wicked musical perfection! Read more ›› |

Hyped about the new album release tomorrow so I've been giving most of their back catalogue a spin. They're incredibly consistent but it's difficult to look past this terrific debut if you want somewhere to start. Left Hand Path is a classic but personally I think they sound more similar to Dissection (and Merciful Fate) than Entombed. Necrophobic have always been very melodic as evidenced by this record.

Necrophobic has a bit of the Swedish death metal sound as well as a bit of gothenburg, but they definitely have more in common with Dissection than Entombed or Dismember, and an argument can be made that they are more black metal than death metal that said, their debut is one of the best albums ever

Still today overwhelming how high they set the standards with this one already back at that time.

An overlooked Death Metal classic. Better than anything from Morbid Angel IMO. Deserves to be in the top 200.

This album has every element that I want from black metal : Dark atmosphere, cunning guitar-work, demonic vocals, and lyrics from hell!

7 days ago was this album's 30th anniversary!  Rare rehearsal video of the band, one week before entering the studio to record their masterpiece:
