No, this is not a new band with youngsters trying to copy one of Germany's biggest thrash combos: Destruction. Between 1986 and 1994 they have already released 4 records, but they never received a lot of attention. In 2004 they restarted with the band and this is their third record since their return. Their first two releases (2004 and 2008) didn't get a lot of promotion, but now that they have been signed with Massacre Records perhaps things will change and maybe that leads to more success? One thing is for sure, the music on this album will not be the problem for that. High quality (German) thrash with a good sound. The vocal performance of Freddy has a Schmier (Destruction) kind of influence in them. The thrash is a combination between German, Swedish and more American thrash, a kind of mix of Death Angel, Destruction and At the Gates. Sometimes an intro gives you a little rest, but in general the album thrashes from start to finish. The only thing that can be a problem for some (not me) is that it is perhaps do get a little boring in the long run. Besides 10 new songs, they have re-recorded a new version of "Possessed By Evil" and if you buy the digipack, you get four well executed live versions extra. Necronomicon can certainly compete with the New Wave Thrash bands and they deserved to be picked up! | ||||||||||||||||||
