Album Notes & Community Reviews
Attempting to recover from the massive critical backlash of their glam-metal detour 'Cold Lake', the Swiss extreme metal pioneers returned to a heavier, thrash-oriented approach. Despite solid performances and a cover of David Bowie's 'Heroes', the album struggled to fully recapture the band's initial avant-garde majesty.
