Album Notes & Community Reviews

Navigating the transitional era between frenetic thrash and the burgeoning Swedish death metal explosion, this sophomore album delivers an unrelenting assault of extreme speed. 'The Treasures Within' boasts razor-sharp riffing and aggressive, raspy vocal deliveries, standing slightly apart from the down-tuned, buzzsaw sound popularized by their Stockholm peers. The record remains a crucial document of Scandinavia's early extreme metal evolution.
