Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Canadian power trio's sophomore effort is a relentless, lo-fi assault that helped lay the foundational blueprints for the emerging thrash metal genre. Produced by Carl Canedy of The Rods, the recording perfectly captures the raw, unpolished intensity of Dan Beehler's simultaneous drumming and shrieking vocals. It is widely revered as an uncompromising classic of early underground speed metal.
