A dark and sinister record this one that evokes images of murky Satanic dungeons and black candles flickering bright. Thankfully this lives up to its cover, with 'Summon the Dead' wrenching influence from the likes of Bathory, Destruction, Kreator, Bulldozer, Possessed, Slayer, Sodom. Greek metal has never sounded so wizened and grim with blazing riffs, squalid bass and dry rasping serpentine vocals. Very much a black thrash attack featuring such cult classics as 'Eastern Front,' 'Avenger' and 'Kill for Mummy', a must-have if you like dirty demonic metal but some hints of intriguing melody too. Quite a rarity or so I've been told but worth selling your soul for!
8/10
