Speaking of the video, Rob ‘The Witch’ comments: “Over 30 years ago we started a project called Necronomicon writing about H.P. Lovecraft mythos and with time passing, we decided to pay homage to the origin of our name and fully embrace it. The stars are aligned the time is right to reveal the many forms under “The Thousand masks”.

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.

With ‘Advent Of The Human God,’
NECRONOMICON presented themselves at a new height in their long
lasting career, which began as early as 1988 with the founding of the band by
guitarist and singer Rob “The Witch” in the deep northern part of Canadian
province Quebec, called the “Fjord of Saguenay.” Now, they continue to push the
envelope with their sixth studio album, ‘UNUS.’
‘UNUS’ is a searing
cacophony that blends 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 symphonic prowess of black metal, creating the
perfect synthesis of both genres and
ultimately
NECRONOMICON have a well-earned reputation
for quality by releasing material only when ready and satisfied with the outcome
ever since their demo entitled ‘Morbid Ritual’ (1992) firmly established their
name within the underground. ‘The Silver Key”EP (1996) led to mainstream
recognition on a national level, but their debut album ‘Pharaoh Of Gods” (1999)
and the sophomore ‘The Sacred Medicines’ (2003) did even more to establish the
band as a household name in Canada.
‘Return Of The Witch’ (2010) marked
the international break-through for NECRONOMICON, and saw them
performing at prestigious festivals such as Inferno (Norway), Ragnarok
(Germany), and the Barge To Hell metal cruise among others, while sharing stages
with acts such as CRADLE OF FILTH, DIMMU BORGIR, BEHEMOTH, and MORBID ANGEL, to
name but a few. Their steady advance around the globe grew considerably in
impact by their next full-length “Rise Of The Elder Ones” (2013). By the time
the band released ‘Advent Of The Human Gods’ (2016), they were met with
international critical acclaim. Now, with ‘Unus,’ the band show that they aren’t
slowing down and are ready to deliver another vicious strike! Prepare for the
darkness to envelop you…
