NEORITE • Banner Of Defeat • LP

This Charming Man Records

Massive! On their second album “Banner Of Defeat,” Neorite reveal their hardest and darkest side yet, carving out a truly distinctive and unmistakable metal style. Armed with the punch of classic Sepultura and a flair for sinister, deadly melodies reminiscent of Dissection and Death, the clean vocals soar above it all — sometimes emotional like Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost), sometimes powerful like Tom G. Warrior (Celtic Frost).

The alternative influences of their debut are pushed to the background in favor of crushing heaviness, yet they remain present in the album’s often complex song structures, giving the music an irresistible catchiness. On “Banner Of Defeat,” Neorite craft their own epic, dark take on thrash metal with doom elements, refusing to be constrained by genre boundaries.
