NECRONOMICON The Final Chapter CD (2021)

German thrash that predates the genre's commercial peak and never chased it. Necronomicon have been doing this since the mid-80s, and their legacy sits comfortably alongside the Teutonic thrash holy trinity, just with less mainstream recognition and zero compromises made along the way.

After 2018's Unleashed Bastards reminded everyone what uncompromising thrash actually sounds like, The Final Chapter arrives as a fitting closer to a career built entirely on its own terms. No clean-up, no radio edit instinct, no concessions to trend. Just riff-forward, aggressive metal from a band that helped define the template before most of the genre's current practitioners were born.

CD, 2021 release. Thrash / heavy metal.
