Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the Pacific Northwest, this aggressive debut combined the blistering speed of thrash with traditional US power metal aesthetics. The heavy, unpolished production perfectly complements their infernal, occasionally humorous, anti-religious lyricism. The record achieved a strong cult status among extreme metal enthusiasts before the band encountered legal disputes over their name.
