Listen below the first single from legendary death metallers Necrophagia’s final album “Moribundis Grim”, to be released via Time To Kill Records on May 10, 2024.
Guitarist Serge Streltsov commented:
“‘Moribundis Grim’ is a song I co-wrote with Killjoy and Shawn back in 2017. Shawn had a couple riffs that I ended up adding to and making a whole song. Killjoy took care of the lyrics. Unfortunately, Killjoy passed away in the middle of tracking the vocals for this song; it was never finished vocally until John (McEntee) stepped in to finish it. Killjoy and John were great friends so it made perfect sense to bring him along.”
In the years of 2016-2018, the band’s last line-up – Killjoy, Serge Streltsov, Shawn Slusarek and Jake Arnette – composed and started recording what their final opus, Moribundis Grim became.
Unfortunately, in 2018 Killjoy passed away before finishing the album. In 2022 with the help of special guests and former Necrophagia members – John McEntee from Incantation, Titta Tani (ex-Goblin) and Mirai Kawashima from Sigh – the album was finally completed.
In a way, it is quite sensational to see another Necrophagia album released at this point in time, meaning 40 years after their first demos were released.
