Good review. I generally agree with you. Vader really doesn't provide anything that's new when it comes to style. The only real shift in Vader's sound over the years has been the tone of Peter's growl.

Yeah you;re right something is missing on this album.It is standard Vader sound and everything but originality is way down comparing this album to Immpresion in Blood or the Beast.

Wow, metalstorm has a review of this before metal-archives.
Anyways, I never knew that they had a completely new line-up aside from Peter. After hearing that, and this review in general, I don't think I'll be getting this album.

At first listen I thought "Why Vader, why?", sincerely I found it disappointing, but after listening to the album with my total attention I found it good, not outstanding, just good. "Impressions In Blood" was a killer album, it blew up my mind, I loved the way Daray abused the use of blast beats and how they managed to pull those killer riffs and guitar soli in a way they never did before (at least IMO). That said, I just can say that even if this album has some cool songs, it lacks of "something", don't get me wrong, Vader is Vader, and that means IMO quality in Death Metal.
BTW I love the Venom cover, Peter's voice fills perfectly.

Same thing as Behemoth's new album, generic uninspired ear-raping, yawn.

No way, this album is not nearly as epic as Behemoth's Evangelion! It just sounds like filler from their old albums.

I do agree with you esp with Daray. I loved the way he varied his drumming in Art of War and Impressions in Blood. His blast beats were superb. I thot he was a keeper. I also thot he was a natural replacement for Doc(RIP). Anyway, hes not in here and to me..something on Necropolis just doesn't click. I give it an 8 though

Baz, it looked like you would start a poem with that sentence.
Sounding the same old Vader of always. Fine by me, its just the way I like.
''When The Sun Drowns In Dark'' was a nice 7minutes surprise (actually 4 minutes, but whatever...) Too bad the album is too short. If it wasnt for the cover songs, it would only be 11 songs in 30 minutes.

Good review but i think that you could compare this album with the previous for example when Vader is "the same Vader" as you say but Impressions In Blood is much MUCH better. this one is a bit boring. i really (i mean a lot) like only 1 song, Never Say My Name. and rise of the undead is a motherfucking COPY-PASTE of Black To The Blind. i am unhappy and disappointed from Vader after this one. they could do a lot better.
no energy here...

I sugest you guys that feel disapointed give it a few more spins.
I felt the same way but somehow i can't stop listening to it and find it to be more memorable than Impressions and the Beast. It has a distinct Evil Thrash Old School feel that the others lacked I think.

Some great cuts on this album. But yes, it is missing something as a whole. The cover art seems like a nod to Incantation.
