11 Tracks. 9:25 minutes long. Loud as hell! Hardcore thrash stuff! Dude!
When I first hit play, I almost immediately hit stop. In reality it probably took me 2-seconds to hit stop. I realized quickly I needed to prepare myself for this one. I hadn’t looked at the track listing in details, just noticed in was long, so I expected a very long CD. The cover, showing a statue of Jesus, gave the impression of a very religious, or anti-religious image. But after the first few seconds I heard, I didn’t know what to think. I hit play again and for the next 10-minutes I was yelled at, and totally confused by the energy, the rhythm of the album, and frankly what they were trying to say.
Being that it is short, I let it play through again. Now I am starting to dig it! Third time is always a charm. I have no idea what they are singing about, but man, are they pissed about something. So, I give them credit here. These guys pulled off amazing amounts of energy and created this rump kicking masterpiece with songs that range from 20-seconds to a whole 1:20-minutes! You get your ear-full of screaming, string-breaking guitars, and high speed, thrashing drums that somehow pull it all together.
I don’t know what else to say! Visit their website, give them a listen for yourself. You are in for an ear blowing experience.
