Germany's Necronomicon have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of thrash, power and first wave black metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "The Final Chapter" which was released by El Puerto Records.
A very heavy German thrash metal sound starts off the album while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Vocals are a mixture of first wave style black metal growls and clean power metal vocals along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic yet aggressive style.
The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while blast beats can also be heard in the faster sections of the songs. Most of the music is heavily rooted in the 80's era but mixed in with a more modern day aggression along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly on a couple of tracks as well as a later song also introducing clean playing onto the album and synths and classical guitars are also added on the closing track.
On this recording Necronomicon continue the mixture of power metal, german thrash metal and first wave black metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover evil, death, occultism and suffering themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Necronomicon and if you are a fan of this band, you should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "I Am The Violence" "Purgatory" "World On Fire" and "Stormreaper". 8 out of 10.
