Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sophomore effort from the New Jersey outfit offers a highly complex, progressive approach to East Coast thrash and power metal. The intricate riffing and rapid-fire tempo shifts are paired with Alan Tecchio's piercing, aggressive vocal delivery. While the challenging song structures impressed the underground metal press, the band unfortunately dissolved shortly after the album's release.
