Citings & Sightings of Dante's Works in Contemporary Culture
“The debut album from Norway’s rulers of evil thrashing oldschool madness is finally re-released on all formats! Featuring members of Obliteration and Audiopain, Divinity Of Death is the perfect blend of classic Slayer, Possessed, Dark Angel, Sepultura etc. combined with Nekromantheon’s own amazing songwriting and instrumental skills. One of the strongest Norwegian debuts, recorded and produced by the band themselves in their own Kick Arse Studio for that old, necro feel!” — Duplicate Records
