Believer - Sanity Obscure

Genre: Progr./Techn. Thrash
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 1990



1. Sanity Obscure

4. Idols Of Ignorance
5. Stop The Madness
6. Dies Irae (Day Of Wrath)
7. Dust To Dust
8. Like A Song (U2 cover)

2nd album by Believer. It was a proof of Believer's increased maturity after their less impressive debut. The result is slightly more technical but also better composed and more interesting. In all a very enjoyable album except for minor flaws but again, a high improvement on some things comparing it to the debut.

Amazing riffing, mixed tempos and 9 songs that will stay for a long time in your player. An outstanding release by a veteran band that knows the ins and outs of death metal.
