You have before you, quite possibly the greatest combination of Death and Thrash Metal ever composed. Some might think that that is a rather bold statement, but I am by no means overrating this masterpiece. It is full of very fast and energetic guitar work, surely how the Malevolent camp got to be known as "Slayer On Acid". One might find a lack of variety in the riffs, but it's nothing to bitch about, hell of a lot more variety than some Death Metal bands, and much more than the current bands nowadays. They didn't bring a whole lot of new ideas to the table, but what really separates them from the others is Bret Hoffmann's unique and intense vocal performance. I love all aspects of this album, but the main reason you should give it a listen is to hear Bret at his best, along with their second effort. It's sad to hear "Stillborn" (their third album) after the drugs had become a bigger interest than the music. It is awesome that he is now with Malevolent Creation once again; he is the true voice no doubt. Now, a break down of everything that makes this album such a classic slab of Death Metal?

I really do like this record a lot. Usually vocals like this and from other bands of the era usually annoy the shit out of me but these are fantastic.

The pace of the drumming and the riffs sound very thrashy to me, and remind me of Slayer, in particular the albums Reign In Blood, and Seasons In The Abyss, also has a Sepultura vibe to it, although it's most certainly still a death metal album, it still has that brutal, old school Florida sound, just as Obituary and Morbid Angel had.

What's most impressive to me is that all the songs are pretty good, and all flow perfectly well from beginning to end, making this album one of the most consistent Death Metal albums to date, maybe not the best, but still excellent.
