⛈️NECROPHOBIC Announces New Album, Shares New Single “Stormcrow”⛈️
“Stormcrow” is taken from the band’s upcoming full-length, ‘In the Twilight Grey,’ due on March 15, 2023 via Century Media Records!
Swedish blackened death metal masters NECROPHOBIC will be releasing their tenth studio album, ‘In the Twilight Grey,’ on March 15, 2023 via Century Media Records! To celebrate, the band is now sharing the devastating first single, “Stormcrow,” along with a music video! The clip was directed by Claudio Marino for Artax Film and can be found at THIS LOCATION.
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 HERE.
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 likeminded institution from the Swedish scene.
