Album Notes & Community Reviews
A definitive, seminal classic of the Bay Area thrash metal scene, 'Bonded by Blood' is an unrelenting explosion of violent speed and crunching guitar riffs. Paul Baloff's manic, highly aggressive vocal delivery commands incredibly energetic tracks dedicated to mosh-pit violence and heavy metal brotherhood. The album is a raw, rhythmically punishing, and incredibly heavy masterpiece of pure thrash.
