Necrophobic is a Swedish death metal band formed in 1989 by drummer Joakim Sterner and guitarist David Parland. It is believed that the band named themselves after a Slayer song from their 1986 landmark album Reign in Blood. The pair played with a 'revolving door' lineup of musicians until the permanent addition of guitarist Martin Halfbahn. This addition occurred prior to recording their debut album, The Nocturnal Silence, in 1993.

Following the addition of vocalist/bassist Tobias Sidegard, Necrophobic released a four-song extended play, Spawned By Evil, in 1996. This was a teaser for the full-length release, Darkside, which bowed later that same year. Third Antichrist was released in fall 2000 through Black Mark Records. A switch to Hammerheart Records led to Bloodhymns, the first of their traditional death metal releases to see American shores through that label.

The lyrics generally tend to revolve around darkness, evil, anti-Christianity and Viking mythology)
