Some things are quite new in the Nominon camp. Change of label and vocalist since 2010 have made them possibly more hungry for death than ever(!) It was a big success getting signed by Deathgasm Records since that label is great.They are among the five best death metal labels in the States, according to my taste. Their two last records have had amazingly good looking covers too. Totally old school of course, and very detailed artwork. This is their first record (The two song EP Manifestation of Black excluded) with their vocalist Henke Skoog, and he´s doin´his best to tear us apart while the band play their brand of death metal with big conviction. It´s never easy to spread the legacy of the so called "swedish death metal" on and on. It is always hard to make something good even better, especially when records like "Left Hand Path" have been released. But let´s forget about the past, and focus on the present. This record is actually pretty packed with good riffs, good production with none of the instruments overshadowing the other and a very capable vocalist on top of that. Like a 90´s production in an updated version. The music itself is of course death metal, death metal and death metal again with a lot of excellent grinding.Of course not played in a fancy way, but very ugly and possessed by unholy demons from the graves of filth. I can also hear a few black metal riffs here and there, which spices up the music and makes it sound fresh and vital. A few more amazing riffs and the score would be higher. Anyway this must be one of the best records released by a swedish death metal band in 2012.
