Media type: LP

Remember what you did in 1986? If you were among the chosen few, you got yourself a vinyl copy of Exumer’s stunning debut “Possessed By Fire”. If not… well, we have good news for those who had been 1.) not yet born 2.) simply too unaware: High Roller Records are helping you to make up for this epic failure! The re-release is your chance to purchase “Possessed By Fire” on vinyl, and as this is a High Roller release, you’ll be getting the best possible version of the debut album in regards to quality and love for the detail. Vocalist and band leader Mem puts it best: “I trust the people behind High Roller Records and I have been a fan of their releases way prior to our deal of re-releasing ‘Possessed By Fire’.”

To bring out the best of this old gem which holds exalted status as being among the best albums from the early days of thrash, “Possessed By Fire” was re-mastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony who has been working for High Roller Records a good while now.

So how does it feel to be back again? “It’s unbelievable to still feel like a relevant band after all these years and given the huge hiatus in between releasing albums. We are very fortunate to have the fans we have and to have their loyal support, which now spans multiple generations.”

After having been vanished from the scene for about twenty years, the re-release is only one of many signs showing that Exumer are still alive and kicking. Having been touring in both Europe and the States in 2013 the band will be back in 2014, playing old and new thrash hymns both for their devoted followers and those who have just discovered this legendary outfit. Because, once back from the dead, Exumer are here to stay: “We will not disappear from the scene again, we promise!”
