Pure Blasphemous Death Metal!!

"Even though this album was released in 1993 with bands like Cannibal Corpse, and Deicide being popular at the time their was Necrophobic which I think put both those bands to shame. Just listen to the opening riffs of the album and you'll hear why. The guitar sound is so damn heavy kind of like Entombed's guitar sound on "Left Hand Path", but heavier.
Necrophobic never got as big as Emperor or Immortal so you posers won't know this band
"The Nocturnal Silence" is definitely one of the most brutal death metal albums of the 90's"
One of the greatest Death Metal releases of all time!

"Yes, a bold statement - but Necrophobic backs it up indeed. I was knocked to the floor the first time I heard this CD. I probably listened to it every day for a year straight, and then pretty much once a week since then - it just doesn't get old! The guitar work is unmatched, only Abyssos or Dissection can compete. These guys destroy Morbid Angel or Cannibal Corpse as far as guitar riffs are concerned... Their style is chilling, you will literally get goose bumps from listening, it's so damn evil, and yet so cool. The guitar sound is the old-school Swedish D.M. sound - courtesy of Sunlight Studio, which is where all the classic releases were recorded (Entombed, Dismember, Grave, Nihilist) The drumming is dead-on, and the drummer actually wrote a lot of the riffs! Vocals have a lot of variety, and the overall energy and sound quality are hard to beat, even with today's standards. If you liked: "Left Hand Path" from Entombed, "Pieces" from Dismember, or "You'll Never See" from Grave, "The Nocturnal Silence" will blow your ass away!!!"
