Quite an awesome Death/Thrash album, probably one of the best of its kind.
---- Crackhead Megadeth reigns supreme.

Crazy-awesome, technical/brutal thrash metal album Love how Van Drunen sounds on this album. One of the best albums, and arguably the best debut release in extreme metal history don't understand why it's listed as death metal though. It's...not death metal.

Written by sgtrobo on 09.07.2020 at 01:41 I know what you mean, it sounds more like thrash than death. Still, I think we should also keep the death metal tag, because if you think back to the first death metal albums, and the year 1988 is not far away in time from those very beginnings, then almost nothing sounded like how we imagine death metal nowadays. To my ears, anyway, this is a fairly balanced blend of DM and TM, and in this respect very similar to the debuts of Incubus (US-LA) and Sadus released in the same year.

Yeah, "proto-death metal" y'know, "first wave death metal" should be a term. Stuff like this, Possessed, early Kreator and Sepultura, etc... it really fits and yes, Incubus and Sadus are perfect comparisons, although I always considered them 'brutal thrash' as well. anyway, nit-picking, it's an awesome album

I can still remember the moment I got this album back in the day. We were on a school trip and while other people went to a boring art museum I went to the nearest record store instead and got this and one of Flotsam & Jetsam's. Those albums were the only interesting or worthwhile thing in the whole trip, definitely worth the pain.
