3	Necrophobic is a Swedish DeathMetal band formed in 1989. [[{{Music/Entombed}} Unlike]] [[{{Music/Dismember}} their]] [[{{Music/Unleashed}} Stockholm]] [[{{Music/Grave}} contemporaries]], Necrophobic's music has significant BlackMetal overtones and doesn't feature the iconic "buzzsaw" guitar tone associated with the scene. The band is most likely named after {{Music/Slayer}}'s song "Necrophobic" from the album ''[[{{Music/ReignInBlood}} Reign in Blood]]''.

5	They are not to be confused with either Music/{{Necrophagia}} or Music/{{Necrophagist}}, two other well-known death metal bands with very similar names.

38	----
39	!!Necrophobic provides examples of:
40	* BlackMetal: A UrExample for melodic black metal along with {{Music/Dissection}} and Unanimated.
41	* DeathMetal: The TropeMaker for blackened death metal. Although there were bands who either mixed the two genres or blurred the line between them beforehand, they were the ones who established it as a distinct subgenre before anyone else.
42	* EpicInstrumentalOpener: "Awakening..." and "The Nocturnal Silence", among others.
43	* IAmTheBand: Joakim Sterner, the founder and only original member still in the band.
44	* LeadBassist: Tobias Sidegård was a Type B until Alex Friberg joined.
45	* MetalScream: Both Strokirk and Sidegård use Type 3 with shades of Type 2.
46	* NewSoundAlbum: ''The Nocturnal Silence'' was primarily DeathMetal. ''Darkside'' amplified the BlackMetal elements and introduced the sound Necrophobic would stick to from that point on.
47	* OminousPipeOrgan: Near the end of "The Nocturnal Silence".
48	* RevolvingDoorBand: The lineup was rather unstable circa 1989-1991.
49	* RockMeAsmodeus: Frequently in the lyrics.
50	* StageNames: David Parland was known as "Blackmoon".
51	* StartMyOwn: After leaving Necrophobic and Dark Funeral, Parland formed Infernal and War.
52	** Anders Strokirk remained active in the scene during his time away from the band, fronting both the death 'n' roll band Blackshine and the OSDM/melodic death band Mykorrhiza.
