Remasterte Version des German Thrash Metal Klassikers von 1987, neue Vinylpressung!

Exumer are one of the living legends of German Thrash. After having re-released their stunning debut "Possessed By Fire" from 1986, High Roller Records now give you the chance to add their second album to your vinyl collection. “Rising From the Sea” from 1987 was Exumer's last output in the full-length format before the split in 1991. Back then, it was Paul Arakari who had taken over the vocal duties, but still, original vocalist Mem von Stein has something to say about its significance for Exumer: "The album was quite important because it was our sophomore release and meant either to cement our reputation as one of the serious and upcoming thrash bands out of Germany, or to sink." Mem's own favourite song on the album is 'Winds of Death', "but there are a few good songs on that record that we still play live to this day."
Compared to the debut album "Possessed By Fire", the band's second output went in a more "Slayer" sounding style of thrash with some of the Exumer trademarks and also showcased some improved technical aspects with regard to musicianship that "Possessed By Fire" did not have, since it was a pretty straightforward album. Also, in terms of the production, "Rising From the Sea" differs from its predecessor in that it is a lot rawer and rather bare-boned. Does Mem agree on that?
"Yes I do. I don't think it was intentional, since the band was under a lot of pressure to record and write at the same time, and thus the production suffered a little."
