Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut album from the Boston trio offers a highly energetic and rhythmic approach to late-eighties thrash metal. Despite being released on a label primarily known for hip-hop, the aggressive musicianship and tight song structures earned the group considerable respect within the underground metal community. The lyrical themes heavily revolve around warfare, societal decay, and ominous military conflict.
