I just listened to Rise, Vulcan Spectre, the 2012 record of the Norwegian thrash metal band Nekromantheon. If you look at the cover it looks more like a Death-metal-album than thrash and so it didn’t surprise me that even though it is clearly thrash metal it had some huge influence from the death metal genre. I enjoyed listening to the record, especially the second side, which was opened by the song The Usurper Command, which is clearly my favourite.
The album comes on Transparent Red vinyl and, ironical enough, on the Back to Black label. The gatefold cover contains the lyrics and a picture of the band. Nothing to moan about on this pressing. It doesn’t sound really amazing, but not bad either. It’s okay.
