Hail to the TRUE creators of groove metal!

Bad ass record

XFD Pantera wish they could be as badass as Exhorder

Meh, the generic knockoffs are better than the pioneering originals. Not bad.

A very vicious, unrelenting groove/thrash metal debut. I prefer the shorter, faster-paced songs like "Exhorder", "Anal Lust" and "Homicide" to the longer tracks (which for me drag a little at some points), but generally the guitar sound here is spot on in my opinion. Very crunching, very heavy and perhaps the most exemplary aspect of Exhorder's debut album.

Great Album!!!!

This album brings me back to my teenage years when I worked as a gardener during my summer vacations. This was always my album of choice for working music, the overwhelming intensity alone makes your body work like it should, plus it's awesome from start to finish and there are some amusingly evil lyrics here and there. The people around me must have hated this stuff, which makes it even more fun to listen to. Screw them, I guess.

I have no idea why I gave it only 9 instead of 10.
