Most of it was discarded for a reason, that it did not keep up to our standards and hence did not make the cut. Maybe some parts here and there, but you’ll never know. Were there any songs that didn’t make it to the album that might surface at some point? Whenever the album was closing in to be finished would be the right time for it’s release though, but we started working much more focused and structured towards an album in 2019, and just before covid hit we set deadlines for going into the studio and such, and finished the entire thing in may 2020. We have been writing music quite regularly, but we have a very high standard, maybe too high, of what thrash metal should be, so it takes time and we discard LOADS of music. Life takes so much more space getting older. Well, it is a pretty complex answer, but the broad strokes is that we’ve been playing live quite sporadically, and we have been busy with other bands and projects, and life in general. To start, what have you guys done to keep busy in between 2012’s Rise, Vulcan Spectre and Visions of Trismegistos, and what made now the right time for a new album? Hails Sindre! Thank you for doing this interview with Ride Into Glory. Though it’s exciting that the band is back after so long, the sudden return leaves a lot of questions, and Sindre (bass and backing vocals) is here to answer them. Slow sections are mostly intros or outros of songs and seem to only exist to leave room for a bated breath while anticipating the next onslaught of terror, and all around, Visions of Trismegistos is exactly what fans wanted after nine excruciating years of waiting for more. Visions of Trismegistos largely carries on exactly where the band left off nine years prior, with howling vocals soaring over technical razor-sharp brutal thrash riffing and breakneck drumming at all times leaving an uneasy impression of a train about to go off the rails.
VISIONS OF GLORY INTERVIEW FULL
Nearly a full decade after 2012’s Rise, Vulcan Spectre, Nekromantheon have returned for their third album. Targeting from the start the deeper underground and always avoiding the party-heavy themes and aesthetic that plagued their contemporaries, Nekromantheon built a cult following for their intense velocity, witching thrash mentality, and incredibly high quality over the years.
Formed at the onset of popularity of the retro thrash movement in 2005, Nekromantheon have largely outlasted and outperformed all of the bands that were their peers through the rise and fall of thrash revivalism.
