In The Twilight Grey (LP)

Despite numerous line-up changes and moments of turmoil, NECROPHOBIC's dark light has never dimmed. As a result, when the band's most efficacious line-up reconvened for 2018's "Mark Of The Necrogram", it was obvious to fans and critics alike that the Swedish quintet were back to the blistering form that first cemented their reputation. With guitarists Sebastian Ramstedt and Johan Bergeback back in the fold after a five-year hiatus, it was a self-evident career peak for all concerned. Not just the best sounding record of the band's career, but one of the most monstrously dramatic and destructive records of the decade, it made the prospect of the next NECROPHOBIC albums even more mouth-watering.

With their 10th studio album, "In the Twilight Grey", the Swedish blackened death metal masters are taking an even deeper plunge into pitch black shadows. Yet again the album 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. "In the Twilight Grey" doesn't only offer classic NECROPHOBIC treasures such as "Stormcrow" or the title track, but also solemn journeys into somberness like the captivating "Nordanvind".
