NECRONOMICON “Invictus”

NECRONOMICON
“Invictus”
(Massacre)
I am not ashamed to say that I didn’t care for Necronomicon back in the 80s. I thought of them as second rate German thrash metal. Why bother with them when I got Assassin, Darkness or Exhumed. Not to mention Kreator, Sodom and Destruction. So I discarded with them and directed my attention at others. Which makes me a Necronomicon virgin before my encounter with new album “Invictus”. I must say that I’m pleasantly surprised by this album. It doesn’t feel as old and tired as I had expected. This is pretty fresh and very vital thrash metal that totally rocks my socks. If they were anything like this back in the 80s I have to whip myself stupid for passing on them. This is the stuff I can listen to hours after hours and not tire of. This is thrash metal to me. No bullshit, just full on power. Bloody hell what a treat this was. Anders Ekdahl
