NECROSIS - Kingdom of Hate, 30/04/2007. video free download

Thrash metal from Chile was not a common fare in the late eighties, therefore Necrosis entered the scene as quite a lone representative of their country. The Search pays homage to various developments in the genre at the time, providing a string of semi-complex tracks with a combination of mid-tempo stompers and high-speed thrashers. Again, the production quality of this album leaves a lot to be desired and could doom any lesser songs into obscurity. Fortunately, the music here is better than that. Obviously Necrosis had a good taste for menacing riffs that are the major strength of this album, and although the vocals are rather thin the band's message comes across fairly clear. With some real effort evidently put into the songs, it is not too difficult to find The Search a likeable release that is just hindered by the lacking production values.
