The debut album from 1993 by this Swedish Death Metal band, one of the most underrated acts to emerge from the flourishing Scandinavian scene of the early 1990s. Although it remained somewhat overshadowed by bigger names of the era, this release has gradually become a genuine cult favourite among fans of dark and atmospheric Swedish Death Metal.
Rooted firmly in the classic Swedish Death Metal tradition, the album combines heavy riffing, dark atmospheres and an excellent balance between aggression and melody. With a distinctive personality and a less straightforward approach than many of its contemporaries, it stands out for the quality of its songwriting and for perfectly capturing the spirit of old-school Swedish Death Metal.
Recommended for fans of: CREMATORY, GOD MACABRE, HETSHEADS, NECROPHOBIC and MORPHEUS.
11th album from 2021 by the American EXODUS, a devastating work of Thrash Metal that combines the classic Bay Area aggression with a modern production and absolutely crushing intensity. “Persona Non Grata” overflows with gigantic riffs, uncontrolled speed and furious violence, proving the band still operates with an almost rejuvenated energy decades after its beginnings. Dark, heavy and merciless, the album blends technicality, groove and rage with tremendous authority, further cementing EXODUS as one of the most consistent and ferocious bands in the entire history of Thrash Metal. Recommended for fans of TESTAMENT, KREATOR, SLAYER and DEATH ANGEL.
