Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a critical transitional point, this album introduces vocalist Phil Anselmo and shifts the group's sound away from glam rock toward heavier, speed-driven riffing. While largely disowned by the band during their massive nineties peak, it remains a fascinating document of their evolution into groove metal titans.
