Dutch death metal dominators THANATOS have re-released their 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.
