Stockholm, Sweden (1989 – present)

There are two bands named Necrophobic.

The more popular was formed in 1989 in Stockholm, Sweden by guitarist David Parland and drummer Joakim Sterner to give the world a band that created unholy death metal. Necrophobic had a few different influences and focused more on creating a much more dark and evil sounding music, in the beginning influenced by Morbid Angel, Slayer and Bathory.

The current line-up is:
Tobias Sidegård - Vocals (Trident, Bajen Death Cult)

Robert Sennebäck - Guitars (ex-Dismember, ex-Unleashed)
Fredrik Folkare - Guitars (Unleashed)
Alex Friberg - Bass (Trident)
Joakim Sterner - Drums

During the underground years 1990-1992, the band built up a great reputation with the demo tapes Slow Asphyxiation (1990), Unholy Prophecies (1991) and the limited vinyl-ep The Call (1992). The great sales of these releases proved that Necrophobic was not just another band.

Necrophobic thought the time was right to move on and started to contact a few labels to get a record contract. Black Mark Production responded after just two days and it turned out to be the label the band signed with. In March 1993, members David Parland (guitar), Tobias Sidegård (bass), Anders Strokirk (vocals) and Joakim Sterner (drums) entered the studio and recorded the debut album The Nocturnal Silence which saw the light of day a few weeks later, consisting of nine songs of pure blasphemous death metal to render the most demanding listeners hearts in flames.

    that is funny but not too surprising, it's the least creative album they have.

    Acordding to a interview of T. Sidegard, Darkside for him was the weakest album, that's pretty weird, haha, anyway Necrophobic fuckin owns, one of the best swedish death metal bands.

    more people prefer nocturnal silence over darkside, and its definitely a good album, but it feels juvenile, they've since mastered all of the riffs and melody styling they tried on that album. darkside laid the framework for blackened death metal as possessed seven churches did for death metal and it's deserving of a little more respect. they didn't re-release it for nothing.
