Ektomorf Reborn CD (Digipak, 2021, Napalm Records)

Reborn is the 2021 studio album from Hungarian metal band Ektomorf, released through Napalm Records as the band's 15th full-length and their debut for the label. Returning to their thrash metal roots, the album delivers a direct combination of aggressive guitar riffs, pounding drums, harsh vocals and heavy modern production. Tracks such as Ebullition, Reborn, Fear Me and Smashing The Past capture the album's fast, forceful approach while retaining the groove-driven intensity that has been part of Ektomorf's sound throughout their career.

Across its eight tracks, Reborn focuses on straightforward thrash metal energy and relentless riff-driven songwriting. The album was recorded and produced with Tue Madsen, whose work helped give the release a powerful and tightly controlled modern sound. Ektomorf's approach draws inspiration from the classic thrash metal tradition, with Napalm Records specifically highlighting the influence of Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth while presenting Reborn as a new chapter for the Hungarian band.

For fans of thrash metal, groove metal and aggressive modern heavy metal, Reborn offers a compact and hard-hitting listening experience built around heavy riffs, driving rhythms and intense vocals. Released in January 2021, this CD Digipak edition is an appealing physical release for Ektomorf collectors and listeners looking for a modern take on classic thrash metal influences.
