The Ancients Rebirth
Damnated Hell's Arrival
[Necropolis]


I haven't heard anything from the bands previous library, so I really can't compare in relation to improvement or change in style. But this is really quite excellent! The opening track alone is worth the price of this mCD. Really dirty and violent sounding black/speed/thrash metal, filled with quality technical guitars, killer drumming, and although generic, well done vocals. And to top it off is a (sped up) Kreator cover. Well done indeed!

The first thing I noticed about this is the huge amount of stuff going on at once here. There's loads of riffs, drums all over the place, and screaming vocals filling up a simply huge wall of sound. I quite enjoyed this feel, since generally thin productions and instrumentation values don't work with music like this. Next, I picked up on the technical feel of the music. By listening to each instrument individually, you can hear that the band haven't learnt to play in the last two weeks. Great solos, very well done riffs, and interesting drumming make this even more enjoyable. ARGGHHHHHH!!!!!! And the first track, as mentioned alone, is worth every penny you lay down for this!!! This is one the best combinations of super fast black metal mixed with thrashing evil!!!! This band will simply destroy if they can learn to create a full length that does not get boring after awhile. The mCD does get a tad overdone at times, but with a little work, these guys could be a truly violent force.
