Traditional/Power Heavy Metal in the tradition of Knapp's bands Onward and Where Evil Follows! Mastered by Jens Bogren (Katatonia, Kreator, Opeth, Dimmu Borgir, Sepultura, etc.) Comes in a stunning digi-pak designed by artist JP Fournier (Impaled Nazarene, Edguy, Pharaoh) and is the result of a merger between labels Pure Steel and Elektrikill Records. "Through Pure Steel Publishing the newly founded NECRYTIS release their debut album 'COUNTERSIGhNS'. But if you think these guys are youngsters, you are completely wrong. With Toby Knapp on board, there's an old veteran of the US American Heavy/Power Metal scene, becoming well known in the Underground with Onward in the early 2000s. Now he's also active in acts such as Where Evil Follows and the Black Metal band Waxen. Joining NECRYTIS with ex-Pandemonium and current Sue's Idol drummer, he harkened back to the epic bombastic works of the faded Onward. Elaborate guitar leads, melodic structures with big Maiden and Priest influences as well as an expressive singer in the tradition of Michael Grant (R.I.P.), this is great stuff for every US Metal fan. Mastered by Jens Bogren, 'COUNTERSIGhNS' has a powerful yet warm production. Melodic Power/Heavy Metal that couldn't be better."- PURE STEEL RECORDS
