As the 80s were drawing their last breath and most people had moved on to Death Metal, Grunge or left altogether, small pockets of resistance remained. Bands like ARCANE, KINETIC DISSENT, ICED EARTH, BLACKKOUT or BITTER END were trying to fill the void left by their forebearers and though most of them are forgotten today, they did not have any less talent and deserve to be remembered. Alternating between the realms of Speed, Power and Thrash Metal, New Jersey's own HORRIFIER follow these traditions on their debut full length, as great songs like 'Premonition' or 'Exordium / From Beyond The Grave' (featuring a guest appearance by ICED EARTH drummer Greg Seymour) clearly show.
