Album Notes & Community Reviews

This aggressively confrontational release from the politically charged Canadian outfit is a defining artifact of late-90s metallic hardcore[cite: 1]. The blistering tempos and fiercely anti-religious lyrics are delivered with a relentlessly heavy, punchy sound heavily indebted to classic death metal[cite: 1].

Genres
