Album Notes & Community Reviews

Building upon the momentum of their debut, the Dutch pioneers delivered a vastly more mature and technically precise sophomore effort. 'Realm of Ecstacy' tempers the chaotic speed of their thrash roots with dense, mid-tempo death metal grooves and highly sophisticated guitar interplay. The album proved to be their final studio release before a lengthy hiatus, closing an essential chapter in the Netherlands' extreme metal history.
