Although Nowen already have released some stuff, the band isn’t really one of the most famous bands from Finland. Musicwise I would say that “Essence of Fear” is a mix of Scandinavian Melodic Death Metal and the technical side of Detonation (The Netherlands). The Thrash riffs has a bit of more modern sounding Thrash vibe like Destruction nowadays or The Haunted on “One Kill Wonder”. The pace changes and the progressive Death (think “Human”) or Carcariass-like bass touches gives a little bit extra. A decent and well played album by Nowen!(Ricardo)
