2. A Moment In Prime
3. Stoned
4. Redshift
5. History Of Decline
6. The Need For Conflict
7. Focused Lethality
8. Shut Out The Sun
9. The Brave
10. Nonsense Mediated Decay


Origin - USA
Style - Progressive Thrash/Death Metal


" Believer returns with their first full length in 16 years ! "

" With the opening track “Medwton” one huge seething mass of crushing jagged thrash riffs, scathing vocals and an injection of melodic solo work from guest guitarist Deron Miller (CKY/World Under Blood). This is only the beginning...."

" There are keyboards sprinkled through out..but very subtle...There are loads of catchy riffs in here and blistering solo's...And of course the progressive passages in every track "

This is quite the comeback in my opinion....Much more straight forward than I expected !...Thankfully gone are the female operatic vocals and such... Instead with Gabriel the band has managed to bring back that old-school thrash sound, but also mix in a large dose of technicality and originality while still sounding very current.....


Damn Straight !.......Get It!
They have it.......

" 2nd full length from France's Outcast...And If you like technical Thrash/Death Metal, Then you must check these guys out ! "

" Outcast brings a awesome mixture of Brutality,Technicality...Technical modern Thrash Metal mixed with Death Metal elements and above all really complex deep parts which come from the lands of Progressive music. To my ears fellow countrymen Gojira and Gorod are influences along with the Meshuggah type stops and starts "

" This is excellent really and the songs are so complex and go in a ton of different directions that it's really addictive...As an example, the great third track, "Reversal", starts with a slow riffs and a really dark and dirty melody which becomes fast a la Brutal Death and then turns into Jazz for some seconds before that it turns back again to Death Metal… It maybe looks chaotic but believe me this is so well-done that it's finally easy to understand the music of the band "

" So you're looking for technical but brutal music? You want Progressive Metal but don't want something that sounds like Dream Theater? Then Outcast has brought the goods ! Believe me.. This is a sleeper in a year of outstanding records !


Highly Recommended!
