Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded on a minuscule budget, this incredibly aggressive debut full-length helped firmly establish the ferocious sound of the Canadian extreme metal scene. 'Executioner's Song' prioritizes relentless, buzzsaw riffing and pure velocity, completely eschewing complex song structures in favor of visceral, thrash-oriented violence. The exceptionally raw, unpolished production quality has cemented its reputation as a highly influential, cult-classic document of the early speed metal underground.
