This album is godly.. Throws early Napalm death and Autopsy right out of the park.

My words exactly.

They shake your hand and they smile and they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends we'll stick with you till the end
But everybody's only looking out for themselves
And you say who can you trust I'll tell you nobody

This is old school DM, when it was grind core close cousin, its an albumk but short album, songs has short structure and compistion, juts like old Napalm death and early grind core bands, days when I in some way liked that genre. Good DM album.

Solid debut. A lot of old school death metal bands can sound a bit same-y, but this manages to avoid most of those tropes.

Yes. In fact, rating any Bolt Thrower album with a score below 8 should be considered valid reason for permanent ban from the website.

Solid debut, seriously brutal stuff, great mid-tempo riffs and heavy bass sound, this is where it all began for Bolt Thrower and they only got better.

Underrated, early on in the death metal scene and the grindy sound is fantastic.

This having a score lower than Honour Valour Pride is ludicrous

For real. This albums is great. Wish BT stuck to this grindy sound for a few more albums.
