After the re-release of THANATOS’ two classic albums “Emerging From The Netherworld” and “Realm Of Ecstasy” in autumn 2012 it is now time to present you the band’s third album “Angelic Encounters”. Released back in 2000, this album shows a bigger picture of THANATOS’ abilities of combining excellent musical skills with complex yet straight-forward songs that perfectly blend the ferocity of riff-oriented thrash metal with the sheer brutality of death metal. The sound on this re-release has been remastered by Dan Swanö. THANATOS’ members Stephan Gebédi (vocals, guitars) and Paul Baayens (lead guitars) have contributed liner notes to this release and as an extra bonus the CD version includes all tracks of the rare “Beyond Terror” MCD.

“Angelic Encounters” is available as a standard Jewelcase CD, offered for midprice, as well as on limited vinyl. Be sure to get your hands on the super-rare blue vinyl version, of which only 100 copies have been made! This version is exclusively available at www.cmdistro.com
