Album Notes & Community Reviews
This blistering debut album is a remarkably complex, highly melodic entry in the burgeoning thrash metal scene, famously propelled by the frantic, virtuosic bass playing of Jason Newsted. Eric A.K.鈥檚 powerful, soaring vocals narrate dark tales of history and violence over an incredibly fast, aggressive rhythmic assault. 'Doomsday for the Deceiver' is a technically dazzling, fiercely energetic masterpiece of speed metal.
