Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bridging the gap between their venomous German thrash roots and the rising wave of death metal, the band's third album is an exercise in relentless hostility. The razor-sharp riffing and significantly darker atmosphere make it a potent document of European extreme metal's early 90s evolution.

Descriptors: death, violence, fast, ferocious, riff-heavy
