Album Notes & Community Reviews

Concluding their impressive studio run, the highly proficient German quartet pushed their aggressive speed metal sound to its absolute technical peak. 'Beyond All Reason' is a barrage of wildly complex riffing, abrupt time signature changes, and soaring, melodic vocal passages that border heavily on progressive metal. Despite the masterful musicianship, the band dissolved as the global popularity of traditional thrash sharply declined.
