The first thing I noticed about this CD is the great artwork. When I started listening it took me by surprise: it's metal! And although it's not really my thing, it's quality stuff. There's a variety of styles on it that ranks from the old school hardcore The Crucified excelled in, to the speedmetal of Deliverance to growly deathmetal.
Other coverage for this album
The Phantom Tollbooth 1998Reviewed by Chris King / Josh SpencerThis is really a difficult album to review, or even to listen to. Variety dominates every aspect, whether it's the music, vocals, or quality of songwriting. Don't get the wrong idea. The members of Necromanicide are definitely skilled musicians with the talent to write good songs, but a more focused direction would be to their benefit. Hate Regime borders on being a metal compilation CD...by one…Similar sounding releases
