Fans of Phobocosm can expect ‘Necropolis’ to feature the band’s trademark blend of dissonant riffs, thunderous drums, and haunting atmospherics, all woven together to create a dense and foreboding soundscape. The album’s artwork, created by renowned artist Mariusz Lewandowski, further sets the tone for the dark and mysterious journey that awaits listeners.
In addition to the announcement of ‘Necropolis,’ Phobocosm has also revealed plans for a series of live performances to support the album. The band is known for their intense and captivating stage presence, and fans can look forward to experiencing their crushing sound in a live setting once again.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring ‘Necropolis’ to life on stage,” says Sarvala. “Our live shows are a visceral and immersive experience, and we can’t wait to share that with our fans once again.”
