Album Notes & Community Reviews
The fourth studio album from the Colorado thrash metal act highlights a significant increase in technical proficiency, particularly propelled by the intricate bass playing of Nick Schendzielos. The tracking relies heavily on hyper-speed, complex riffing, abrupt time changes, and David Sanchez's piercing vocal shrieks. The album's lyrical themes provide a blisteringly angry, highly politicized critique of modern society, the media, and organized religion.
