Not as grand as Bitte Orca but I listen to this one more. If music you come across in the wild is mosaic, this is like collage--but it's not slopped together, every moment feels carefully polished and earnest. The beautiful vocal harmonies and technical noodling will keep your ears honest
They're at their best when the cymbal and snare manage to find a catchy groove and the guitars start barking like annoying dogs failing to find the tempo. Those moments are like finding treasure I wish there was more repetition and more djent breakdown silliness. Idk what the fuck they were thinking this album is like David and Goliath: calculators tried to make music and actually pulled it off.
A haunting peek at his faith I think but it's actually good and hopeful. This dropping right after the Lil Pump strip club hit; and in the midst of continued worldwide tension can look like a bizarre maskoff moment of reckoning in regards to the broader Reformation.
Thrash standard but a bit dated. "Agent Orange" and "Magic Dragon" are special, "Baptism of Fire" all-time riff; but Sodom and their descendants have absorbed and zoomed past the rest of this.
They switch pace and jump into the intensity at the perfect time though, I bet lots of grindcore bands liked this record. I only revisited this because their newer stuff is so good and the remasters of these tracks put the originals to shame
