Let’s start this new year with welcoming the two savages Sebastian Ramstedt and Johan Bergebäck back to the band. From today, they will handle the guitars, a part that has been single handed in the recent years.
Why is this happening now? What happened to Fredrik?
– The last couple of years, Fredrik has been handeling all the guitar parts as a single guitarist. He is a great guitar player, but he can’t play two guitars live and to have two guitarists is an important part of our sound - escpcially live. The music is written for two guitars. It has been so in the past and it’s still so today, explains Joakim and continues:
– Lately, I have also come to realize that me and Fredrik are too far from each other on the musical side. Our mindset and our musical roots are too different. Necrophobic is very special in that way that it has very strict, call it rules, on how music shall sound, and not to sound, so with that in mind, along with that one guitar player was ”missing” live, I slowly started to think of this solution - to let Fredrik go. It’s always hard to tell a person to go, especially since we have always got along very well on the personal basis, he’s a great guy, but I had to set the band, and what’s best for the band, in first place. There’s no hard feelings between us. At least not from my side.
Joakim continues:
– Since some time back, a new born relationship started with my old friends, and former band mates, Sebastian and Johan, and that made this line-up change into reality. Sebastian was part of this band for 15 years and Johan for 10 years, so I’m really excited to have them back in the band again and I’m looking forward to what we will accomplish together, both live and on the song writing terms.
So, what are your views on this and how does it feel to be back in Necrophobic?
Sebastian:
– It’s a great honour to be back! It feels like coming home. Necrophobic has, by far, been the band where I can let my creativity flow the most. Joakim’s vision and my way of writing songs has always fit together naturally. The funny thing is that me and Johan never really quit Necrophobic. After years of working closely together we, in the beginning of 2011, said that we needed a break, but it became longer than we expected. I do respect Fredrik’s work in this band. He is a fantastic guitar player and his work with Necrophobic, both as a guitar player and a producer, will not pass unnoticed.
Sebastian continues:
– The time for a return is now and we will unite in forces stronger than ever.
Johan:
– The time has come for me to re-unite with the mighty force of Necrophobic. Together we will bring forth the black flag and reclaim our position as a great live act. Join us when we venture into the eternal fire. See you out there
Line-up:
Anders Strokirk – Vocals
Alexander Friberg – Bass
Joakim Sterner – Drums

Regresso dos guitarristas e gravações do novo albúm para o final deste ano.
NORWEGIAN VIKING METALLERS HELHEIM RELEASE VIDEO OF TRACK FROM UPCOMING ALBUM
Norwegian Viking Metallers HELHEIM are launching the year by giving fans the first taste of their upcoming ninth full-length album “landawarijaR” which is scheduled release on Dark Essence Records on the 20th January. The band has revealed the first of two videos by Guilherme Henriques, which illustrate tracks from the album. The first video is for the track “Baklengs mot intet”, and this will be followed by “Ymr”, which will be revealed at a later date.
The video for “Baklengs mot intet” stars Helheim. Fernando Leiras, Pedro Roquette and Marina Oliveira, and was directed by Guilherme Henriques . First Assistant on the project was Catarina Rocha and lights by Kirsti Rosseland. Makeup by Joana da Silva and Florisa Nogueira. Special thanks go to Cine-Teatro António Lamoso, Inside Live & Rock Café, Mathis Backe.
Talking about the ideas behind the two videos, HELHEIM had this to say:
“The videos, “Baklengs mot intet” and “Ymr”, give the best illustration of the concept behind the new Helheim project, “landawarijaR”. Whilst the theme of “Ymr” is about defining yourself through Norse arts and works -making the metaphorical climb of Yggdrasil in other words, the theme of “Baklengs mot Intet” describes the inner battle, the bottomless despair and endless futility experienced by a Walker of the Way. “Ymr”, therefore, describes the ascent and the letting go from the top, whilst “Baklengs mot intet” describes the fall and its possible implications.
“Through these songs Helheim are continuing their exploration and modern interpretation of the darker aspects of the North-European pre-Christian culture, capturing the spirit of the Norse heritage in ways that have eluded both to researchers and archaeologists”.
With music by by H’grimnir and V’gandr, lyrics by V’gandr and artwork by H’grimnir, “landawarijaR” was recorded at the Conclave and Earshot Studios in Bergen, and produced by Bjornar E. Nilsen (VULTURE INDUSTRIES, BLACK HOLE GENERATOR) and mastered by Herbrand Larsen (ENSLAVED). Artists performing guest vocals on the album include William Hut, Morten Egeland (NARROWHEAD), Pehr Skjoldhammer (ALFAHANNE), Bjornar E Nilsen (VULTURE INDUSTRIES, BLACK HOLE GENERATOR) and Ottorpedo.
Tracklisting for “landawarijaR” is as follows:
1. Ymr
2. Baklengs mot intet
3. Rista blodørn
4. landawarijaR
5. Ouroboros
6. Synir af heidindomr
7. Enda-dagr

The artwork was handled by Sólfjall Design.

The Dutch black metal band Turia made a powerful first impression with their debut album Dor in 2015. Much of the music (which was recorded live) could be characterized as propulsive atmospheric black metal, with teeth — barbed with melodic hooks and relying on sequences of repeating movements that drove the music into your head like railroad spikes. But the album revealed other dimensions as well, including slower and gloomier ones, all of them equally seductive.
The band’s second album, Dede Kondre, will be released on January 23 by Altare Productions (12″ vinyl) and Haeresis Noviomagi (cassette tape). Dede Kondre has a conceptual framework, an unusual one that (to quote a press summary) “delves into the missionary chronicles of the Maroon (escaped slave) communities, inhabitants of Suriname”, a former South American colony of The Netherlands. “Dede Kondre”, in the main language of Suriname (Sranan Tongo), is the land of the dead, the interior of the jungle “from which the clergies recounted pagan, unhallowed and demonic forces”.
The first three minutes of the title track greet you with a raw, abrasive gale of riffing and blood-freezing shrieks, but through that maelstrom the bass-and-drum tandem get a grip on your pulse and drive it hard, while flickering melodic tones ride the rhythm and get caught in your mind. And then the song switches to a rocking beat and a slashing riff, and only the dead could fail to move to them.
“Dede Kondre” is a thoroughly mesmerizing piece of music. “Waterzucht” is at least its equal. It also gets the head nodding — and swimming in strange seas. The shrieking vocals are searing enough to melt skin from sinew, and there’s a coating of abrasiveness on the riffs, but the song’s melodic core is highly seductive, perhaps with a hint of gloomy post-punk in the mix and with a chiming chord in the opening minutes that sounds like a bell.
The music comes to a near dead-stop in the middle, and the ambience becomes eerie, even hallucinatory. The twittering electronic tones that fill the wide spaces between big jagged chords sound like bird song under a dark rainforest canopy. It’s a brief, trancelike interlude, because the song’s intensity surges again in the closing minutes, a high luminous melody rippling through the piston-like drive of the bass and the drums.
There’s something otherworldly and uneasy about the song’s atmosphere, but it reveals glimmers of beauty within the hostile darkness — and it manages to be physically compulsive as well as dreamlike. Like the title track, it’s evidence that as good as Dor was, Dede Kondre is another step ahead for Turia.
As noted earlier, Dede Kondre will be released in a limited edition of 200 cassettes by Haeresis Noviomagi and a limited edition of 250 12″ LPs by Altare Productions.
