This has to be either one of the most bizarre or one of the most inspired thrash metal albums I have ever heard in my life. Everything about this thing is just fascinatingly absurd, beginning from the production itself which is kinda terrible and especially the guitar tone which reminds me of a broken blender. The lyrics are also so stupid and kindergarten level evil they are actually hilarious and the singer is at times so over the top he sounds like a mentally retarded drunkard.

Surprisingly it's not just all clowning around, the best song here is called "Another Life" and it's a very competent acoustic ballad. Other songs aren't that bad either, they're really catchy, mostly so unique they're memorable and they lack most of the obvious cliches. I also kinda dig the surreal cover even though I have absolutely no idea what's it even supposed be, I always thought it was some kind of parody of a anti-christian metal album cover. I got the original vinyl for cheap, since nobody even in the metal community seems to know this gem.
