media release: Canadian blackened death metal masters NECRONOMICON will be embarking on an extensive North American tour this spring! The band will be co-headlining the run along with THE CONVALESCENCE and touring in support of 2019's opus, 'UNUS.'

NECRONOMICON mainman Rob the Witch comments: " I think I don't need to mention how hard these last years have been for everyone, and it's about time that we get back to a healthy music scene. We are more than happy to be back in U.S. We really hope you guys will come and support us as we bring you 'Vivus Verum' on this run. Hail to all of you"

NECRONOMICON will be supporting 2019's 'UNUS,' which can be streamed, downloaded, and ordered HERE.

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.
