Exumer

Exumer is a German thrash metal band from Frankfurt am Main, formed in 1985; their debut album Possessed by Fire was released in 1986.

Review notes the band as a very young quartet from Frankfurt, fronted by Mem Von Stein (bass and vocals); guitar work credited to Siedler and Mensch and drums to Syke Bornetto. The debut is described as raw and immediate, showing influences from Slayer and Exodus and considered one of the stronger German thrash debuts despite limited originality.

The single DeBaser review celebrates Exumer's 1986 debut Possessed by Fire as a raw, convincing German thrash album. Mem Von Stein's rough vocals, immediate riffing and period-accurate influences (Slayer, Exodus) are highlighted. The review notes limited originality but values the album's youthful energy and arrangements. Drumming by Syke Bornetto and varied tempos are praised. Overall considered one of the stronger German thrash debuts.
