One of the last Death Metal classics..........2007-02-13

Scandinavian Death Metal was in transition by the time of Necrophobic's debut. God Macabre, Nirvana 2002, Amorphis, At the Gates, and Afflicted had slowly been adding a gloomy, grotesque melody to the dark lo-fi groove of earlier bands like Nihilist and Carnage. 'The Nocturnal Silence' is one of many excellent underground Swedish Death Metal records from the era, introducing melody, keyboards, samples, elements of Doom and Black Metal, all with a degree of class and sophistication.

Time has been kind to this album, possibly because the mainstream Death and Black Metal scenes never really took much notice of it. The strength of the material lies in its honesty, a lack of gimmicks and genre stereotypes. As with many Death Metal LPs, the song-writing is a little inconsistent, but when they do hit the mark ('Before the Dawn', 'Unholy Prophecies', 'Father of Creation') they evoke a feeling of subtle darkness that harks back to a bygone era of Death Metal's history.

One of the greatest Death Metal releases of all time!.......2005-03-09

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!!!

Pure Blasphemous Death Metal!!.......2003-10-14

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

underrated black metal.......2003-05-28

This album is pure evil from start to finish. I'm amazed how Necrophobic didn't manage to achieve a higher status after the release of this debut, The Nocturnal Silence, which is an utter shame. Everything about this album emanates perfection. The guitarwork is brillant, brutal, beautiful, and beastly. There is not one weak track found, there is not even a weak section. Necrophobic is as evil, if not more than legendary bands such as Emperor, Mayhem, and Darkthrone. If I were Satan, I would truly be shaking in my goat clefted boots knowing that that there is a new contender to the throne of darkness, and that is Necrophobic.

A Classic in underground metal.......2002-10-12

This is one of the best death metal albums of all time. The first time I heard this album I was in total shock because it gave me the same feeling as Slayer's Hell Awaits did. This album has by far the most "evil" atmosphere I have ever encountered in an album. A lot of bands have the satanic image and they try really hard to be evil, but many of them don't cut it like Necrophobic. There music is brilliant. Davis Parland (AKA Blackmoon) is hands down the best death metal guitarist that I have ever heard. His songwriting is both brutal and very catchy. The production is amazing. Unlike other swedish bands who recorded in the early 90s they had their own sound. Their lyrics are beautifully frightening. I cannot speak highly enough about this album. If you are into death metal, I highly recommend this album. Your collection is not complete without it. I also recommend the first Dark Funeral album " Secrets of the Black Arts", War and Infernal. These bands were all formed by David Parland after he exited Necrophobic.
