Fine album a little repetitive if you'd ask me but last four songs are pretty good.

This is a very interesting band. After listening to this album i think it deserves more praise.

A band i slept on i guess, I kept hearing of them but ignored. But better late than never i guess.
This is a solid debut, the vocals are the weak link here, but they're listenable. Everything else is top notch. Inspired song-writing i dare say. I'm gonna explore the band some more. there are two albums even better rated than the debut. Should be good.

Same with Coroner; if you don't approve with vocals you should still check it out. I don't wanna spoiler how it will be but I think I left comments so folks can see afterwards.

I don't know what to make of your post, laugh or get upset?!
How ignorant do you think i am that i do not know Coroner, one of the best-known European thrash bands?!

Hexenhaus actually changed their name to Memento Mori in 1993 until 1997, and in 1998 they brought it back to release their 4th and final album.

That's not entirely correct, because even though the two bands shared three members, they were considered two separate entities. Obviously, technical thrash and epic doom don't have much in common...
Also, the final Hexenhaus album was already recorded in early 1997 and released in June of that year, while Memento Mori were still working on their fourth album, which didn’t come out until later that year. I’m not sure where you got 1998 from.

Thanks for the information! I didn't read any articles on the subject, I just wrote what I remembered from back then since I'm quite old.
