Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, this debut offers a soaring, highly melodic counterpoint to the era's increasingly brutal thrash landscape. Warrel Dane's theatrical, multi-octave vocal range serves as the focal point, driving complex arrangements that explore dark fantasy and sociopolitical pessimism.
