Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded by a teenage power trio, this seminal release stands as one of the earliest and most vital documents to successfully bridge the gap between hardcore punk and heavy metal. 'Animosity' introduces significantly heavier, Sabbath-inspired guitar riffing to their blistering punk tempos, anchored by politically charged, anti-establishment lyrics. The record profoundly influenced the developing crossover thrash movement and the broader extreme metal underground.
