History

Necrophobic wis foondit in 1989 bi drummer Joakim Sterner an guitarist David Parland. It is believed that the baund named themselves efter a Slayer sang frae the 1986 seminal album Reign in Blood. The pair played wi a 'revolvin door' line-up of muisicians till the permanent addition o bassist Tobias Sidegård. This addition occurred prior tae recordin their debut 7" Single, "The Call" in early 1992.

Wi this line up an the addition o Anders Strokirk on vocals who replaced Stefan Harrvik (who haed sung on the "Unholy Prophecies" demo an "The Call" 7" EP) the baund entered Sunlight Studio in Mairch 1993 an recordit the debut "The Nocturnal Silence" album. The baund haed previously wirkt wi the Wild Rags label an store for its singles.

Follaein the addition o seicont guitarist Martin Halfdahn, Necrophobic released a fower-sang extendit play, Spawned By Evil, in 1996. This wis a teaser for the full-length release, Darkside, which came oot later that same year. This album featured a guest appearance bi Jon o Dissection on the sang Nailing the Holy One. Third Antichrist wis released in hairst 2000 through Black Mark Records. A switch tae Hammerheart Records led tae Bloodhymns. Necrophobic's Death To All wis issued in Mey 2009 an wan the title o the Album Of The Month on Metallian.com Webzine. This album wis the baund's seicont for Regain Records.

The leerics generally tend tae revolve aroond daurkness, evil, anti-Christianity an Viking meethology.
