i work my way into the nevermore release catalogue little by little. i started with their sophomore album "the politics of ecstasy" and obtained now their fifth record "enemies of reality". it is the one i read the most about beforehand and it seems like it is a fan favourite. fifteen years after its initial release in 2003, century media comes up with a re-press and i thought it was the right time to dig deeper into nevermore's music. back in the day the band had to deal with a reduced budget for the recording.
that was the reason nevermore could not record in the facility they actually wished for and thus the sound quality didn't meet their expectations. also did fans and press voice criticism concerning the production. two years later andy sneap re-mixed the whole thing. this re-mix ist pressed to the vinyl here. a good mix that does this superb thrash/death/melodic metal record justice. the presentation is top notch as well. slip sleeve, insert, cd, giant poster and lovely opaque light blue vinyl make for a great re-issue all around. century media. 2003/2018.
