Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the vibrant Arizona thrash metal scene, the quintet delivered a technically proficient and furiously aggressive debut. The breakneck tempos and heavy, rhythmic riffing perfectly complement cynical, socially conscious lyrics that address political corruption and societal decay. It remains a highly respected offering from the second wave of American thrash.
