2016, If flaccid, identikit, breakdown-laden ´metal` is the disease, Necromancing The Stone is the cure. Featuring artwork by Ariel Zucker-Brull and guest appearances by Taylor Nordberg (The Absence, Infernaeon) and Jeff Loomis (Arch Enemy, Nevermore), JEWEL OF THE VILE immerses the listener in fantastical tales, like those found in fantasy novels, or in the playing of an intense game of Dungeons And Dragons. The sparing inclusion of death metal growls for characters within the stories adds an extra dynamic to the already epic vocals, which are backed by gigantic riffs and pulverizing rhythms. From the moment the aptly titled ,,Crusher" rushes from the speakers, Necromancing The Stone own you. True heavy metal fans, look no further - your salvation has arrived with JEWEL OF THE VILE!
