It has been a long time since I last heard a band with such an interesting offering, this band truly sounds like the old tape trading days, they sound so much like classic Thrash Metal that it's really difficult to believe they're not an underground band from the 80's, and this is only their debut album.

Not many people really know this band, I know I didn't, but when I received their album to review I was?in doubt actually, just look at the cover artwork, it's incredibly raw and it almost looks like it was made by the band itself with some crayons and a scanner, now I even think it was drawn that way on purpose to fit with the "retro" concept, it must be!

The music is tight as hell, I see how many people will be hoping for something more brutal and insane, but this band is all about the old-school, their strength does not come in the shape of sickening blast-beats but in a more destructive way of playing. The record itself is what any Destruction or Coroner fanatic will love, it has one or two edgy approaches but they also come with a classic vibe surrounding them.

This CD is a must try for those who are nostalgic about the old days, I can easily picture myself trading this for a Cancer tape or an Xecutioner bootleg, damn it why in hell those things are now gone? Anyway, it would be wise if we keep an eye on this band, they have massive potential and I surely need to know what they're doing next.
