Album Notes & Community Reviews

A ferocious debut that established Canada as a formidable force in the thrash metal scene, 'Alice in Hell' is a highly complex, technical masterclass. Guitarist Jeff Waters drives the album with incredibly fast, precise riffing and dark, energetic melodic sensibilities that pushed the boundaries of speed metal.
