Necrophobic: Hrimthursum

With thirty years of active, nefarious service under their belts, Necrophobic are undisputed legends of the death and black metal underground. Founded in 1989 by drummer Joakim Sterner, the Stockholm blackhearts represented a unique and fearless vision from the very beginning, confirming their prowess in 1993 with the now legendary debut album The Nocturnal Silence. Leaving behind the self-conscious dilettantism and primitive sounds that many of their peers cherished, Necrophobic created a bold and vibrant identity of their own, conjuring up a densely melodic but infinitely wicked version of macabre extreme metal that has since been emulated by countless lesser-known bands With "Hrimthursum", their fifth full-length album, Necrophobic already infused their blasphemous assault metal with melody and atmosphere, not to mention a great attention to instrumental detail, when the album was released in 2006. The Swedish black death metal legends are now re-releasing this album as the first of nine reissues
