Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping entirely away from the black metal aesthetics historically associated with the Norwegian extreme music scene, this trio delivers a violently authentic homage to 1980s Teutonic and South American thrash. The album is incredibly fast, utilizing razor-sharp riffing, relentless blast beats, and a raw, analog production style. It won a Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannprisen), solidifying its status as an absolute triumph of the modern thrash metal revival.
