After the critically acclaimed Working Class Demon from 2010, Yurei returns with a work venturing even further into the weird. Building on the same expression as his first album, Night Vision takes it all so much further and travels into a landscape of his own; gone are the distorted guitars (removing the already faint previous traces of metal) and in comes a parade of Dali-like creatures of the night: twisted, progressive, Lynchian tracks with hectic Balkan-inspired outbursts going off inside the dissonant but still melancholic and driven rock.

Dutch death metal veterans Thanatos and Century Media Records have inked a deal for the re-release of the band's back catalogue.

Both albums doubtlessly range amongst the classic releases of the heyday of Death Metal in the late 80's/early 90's.
