Album Notes & Community Reviews

Signaling a distinct shift from their earlier street punk origins, the Scottish veterans heavily incorporated the metallic aggression of crossover thrash into their sound. 'Death Before Dishonour' relies on crunching, mid-tempo guitar riffs and Wattie Buchan's famously belligerent vocal delivery. The stylistic pivot successfully modernized the band's confrontational approach for the late-eighties extreme metal and hardcore audiences.
