Neurasthenia – Possessed By Your Omen

Releasedate: 01-09-2012; Label: Spider Rock
By: Sabine van Gameren

Neurasthenia is a Thrash Metal formation from Italy. The band formed in 2004 under this name but have been known as Animalator before. They recently released “Possessed By Your Omen”.

“Possessed By Your Omen” is a compilation album, but the band did not just make it a best of release, they re-recorded everything so they are giving their fans a 2012 version of their music. Must be said, the band has their years of experience well used in making this release, some really nice guitars are to be found in here. Somehow melodic creating a bit more drama here and there and a good add with the heaviness that comes throughout. This diversity does not stick with just guitars, the band has created a track list that has enough variation to keep it interesting and with some good and strong vocals over it this release is simply a surprise. If you have not heard the band before, “Possessed By Your Omen” is probably a perfect way to get your introduction, giving you tracks from their earlier work combined at one album. Hopefully the guys are using the success of it to create a larger fan base that will enjoy new material as well.
