LIK - Necro CD (Preorder)

NB! Preorder item, release April 11.

LIK - the modern day purveyors of classic Swedish death metal - gloriously return to action with their fourth album ‘Necro’ via Metal Blade on April 18th, 2025!

Standing loud and proud over so many imitators, ‘Necro’ is the musical equivalent of a classic shock-horror movie that’s drenched in blood and gore and packed with over-the-top extremities.

Delve beyond the zombie-fied cover art created by Stockholm-based tattooist and artist Jens Olsson (Ink Fanatics), ‘Necro’ serves as a reminder of just how special and exciting the genre is: packed with blood-curdling fantasy stories about war, death, zombies, world apocalypse, murder; and stacked with disgustingly-good rotten riffs.

LIK are proudly staying true to the DNA and ethos of the music they’ve collectively loved since their teenage years - cutting straight to the jugular in true quintessential death metal style.

After recording and releasing their critically acclaimed third full-length, 2020’s ‘Misanthropic Breed’ during the pandemic, this time around getting back into the studio properly was paramount. And while ‘Misanthropic Breed’ was recorded at the quartet’s rehearsal space where the band produce all their demos, when it came to recording ‘Necro’, LIK upped sticks to record at NBS Studio (a.k.a. Necromorbus Studio) in Söderfors, two hours from their home city.
