Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as their first album without original vocalist Lee Dorrian, the British grindcore pioneers fully solidified their transition into punishing, groove-oriented death metal. With Mark 'Barney' Greenway taking over vocal duties, the unrelenting political fury of their early work is maintained against a backdrop of heavier, more complex riffing.
