We have been writing songs like crazy and we have many to choose from. Look out for a new album later this year from FATALIST!!!"

Here’s some background info from EXUMER’s Mem von Stein about the release: "This is the only advance tape for "Possessed By Fire", recorded in the fall of 1986. Disaster Records had asked us to prepare a decent tape with the bulk of the material we were supposed to record for the album, in order to check out the songs. This tape was only given out to the label by that time and a few close friends of the band. We all lost our copies, but one of our friends held on to his one. We hope you enjoy this raw version of what later became our debut album, "Possessed By Fire"." The whole material has been re-mastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony in October 2014 and the artwork / design for “Fire Before Possession” comes from Alexander von Wieding, who already worked on other High Roller releases from MASTER, NUCLEAR ASSAULT etc. More EXUMER at www.facebook.com/exumerofficial
