Okay - as for Invocator's 'Excursion Demise' - I don't generally listen to thrash that is this heavy - but after a few listens, I started to warm up to it. The production is great - very crisp - not too muddy, but not overly polished either. Just think the bass could be a bit louder (I dub it 'Justice For All (Bass for None)' syndrome)

I will say I wish there were more melodies - with thrash metal, there always seems to be a balancing act between heaviness and melody. This album seems a little imbalanced in favor of the former - which can be enjoyable some of the time but can be tiring at others.

I'll be checking out more from Invocator in the future.
