"Believer is a Christian thrash metal band (not death metal as the previous reviewer below wrote). This was their first album, I believe (and best). No one sounds like them and no one ever will. Great thrash with a Christian message (even though I don't care about that) and a great roughly-melodic sound. I love the title track, Unity, Shadow of Death (the best). All songs are great though.Check out Sanity Obscure, their second album, which was more creative and diverse, but perhaps less melodic overall, and not as technical (if thrash can be considered technical.Great buy."

An awesome Debut, but its not as good as Dimensions

"NOTE: NOT TO BASH ONE OF THE REVIEWERS, BUT THIS IS NOT DEATH METAL. IT'S THRASH.

I basically just said it all. Extraction From Mortality is an awesome Thrash Metal album by the Christian band Believer. It's not their best. It seems to me that their albums just get better as they release them. Extraction From Mortality is more of an album you listen to just merely for entertainment as opposed to art. This is album is some-what technical as compared to their later stuff which is EXTREMELY technical with their complex riffs and odd time signatures. However, this album has my number 1 favorite song of Believer and could possibly be in my top 10 all time favorite songs. The song is called Shadow Of Death, which is also the very first song of believer that I have heard.



What is awesome about this album however is the production and the great crunch used in the guitars. Unfortunately, Kurt Bachman's vocals are a little annoying because they sometimes drag and they are not so aggressive. Still I love this album, but it's NOT my favorite Believer album. My favorite is still Dimensions."
