Album Notes & Community Reviews

A devastatingly fast, hyper-aggressive landmark of the Boston hardcore scene, this debut album pushes punk rock to the absolute brink of chaos. Featuring blistering tempos, frantic riffing, and politically charged, unhinged vocals, it epitomized the intensity of the East Coast thrashcore movement. Following its release, the band splintered due to inner-city gang violence and scene politics, leaving this as their definitive classic-era statement.
