Necronomicon: Construction Of Evil

Limited collector's colored vinyl LP pressing. The album adheres very strongly to the original mixture of aggressive vocal shouts and melodic riffing observed on their early albums, but with a much cleaner production and a bit of an awareness of the newer German Power Metal acts that came out of the mid to late 1990s such as Paragon and Iron Savior.

The instruments are very well-balanced, the vocals at the forefront without robbing the guitars of their power. Stylistically, the variation in approach from song to song mostly hearkens back to the mid to late 80s approach, mostly being dominated by speed songs with the occasional slower rocker and token half-ballad.
