The sole and debut album from 1991 by America's FUNERAL NATION and one of the most representative releases from the transitional period between late-'80s Extreme Thrash Metal and the emerging Death Metal movement of the early 1990s. Hailing from Chicago and active since the mid-1980s, the band developed a ferocious and blasphemous sound that earned it cult status within the American underground scene.
"After the Battle" delivers an explosive blend of dark Thrash Metal and primitive Death Metal built around razor-sharp riffing, frantic rhythms and a strong occult atmosphere. The influence of the old school can be heard throughout every track, with relentless aggression and a direct approach that avoids both technical excess and commercial compromise. Savage, raw and overflowing with energy, the album perfectly captures a pivotal moment in the evolution of extreme Metal, when the boundaries between Thrash and Death Metal were still being forged.
Recommended for fans of: POSSESSED, SLAYER, DEATH STRIKE, INFERNAL MAJESTY.
