Montreal’s premier blackened death metallers are back with ‘UNUS,’ the crushing and cinematic follow up to 2016’s ‘Advent of the Human God.’ With each record NECRONOMICON has created in the span of their 31-year career, the band has steadily evolved in both sound and power; ‘UNUS’ is no exception to this.

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s legendary grimoire, NECRONOMICON formed in 1988 by founding guitarist and singer Rob "The Witch" in the deep, northern part of Canadian province Quebec, Fjord of Saguenay. Since then, the band have carefully released each full-length without haste, allowing them to perfect every nuance before unleashing their sonic assaults upon the masses. In 2019, NECRONOMICON was presented with a certificate of honor for over 30 years of service via H.S. production/Tommy Tremblay, and the people of Saguenay Lac St Jean, making them the second band after VOIVOD to ever receive this honor.
'UNUS' is a searing cacophony of blistering riffs, machine-like drums, and a symphonic ambience, culminating in a sound that calls to various metal icons such as DIMMU BORGIR, SEPTICFLESH, BEHEMOTH, and DEICIDE. The record combines the furious elements of death metal with the orchestral prowess of black metal, creating the perfect synthesis of both genres. Standout tracks like “Paradise Lost” and “Singularis Dominus” only solidify NECRONOMICON’s ability to continuously produce high quality metal that’s just as dark and brutal as it is elegant.

What the press is saying about NECRONOMICON:

"Necronomicon continues to be one of extreme metal’s most underrated majicks... [they] channel the best moments of Behemoth and symphonic death à la Fleshgod Apocalypse while remaining entirely Necronomicon." - Bravewords

"...old-school death metal brought closer into the modern era, but without sacrificing those big booming blast beats or guttural growls." - MetalUnderground.com

Mixed and mastered at Darth Mader music studio by Logan Mader (Machinehead)
