A pretty incredible bit of thrash metal. The solos are great, I love the vocals and the overall production is perfect for this style of thrash. Reminds me a lot of the first couple Testament albums, with maybe a bit more of a speed metal influence than those albums had

A ripping forgotten thrash/speed metal album. Some really tasty guitar work and excellent vocals to be found here. If you dig shit like Whiplash, early Testament, or even the first 2 Overkill record, this should be an album you check out. The bass is also really fat, especially on songs like Posers where you get some nice bass lines. Definitely an album that should’ve been bigger in the thrash underground than where it currently is.
