I know there are many times when I start out these little blurbs I write by saying that I really like this disc and this time I want to place extra emphasis on that sentiment because this is a heavy-ass, albeit short, death metal album. The singer has a nice bellowing roar and the band crafts some nice hooks, grooves, and leads.

This band had been around for more than 3 decades and still contained 2 original members, but it seems that they are split up now.

Hey, check these guys out! I have been listening to this one for a while now and I am so impressed by the quirky variation these 2 dudes put into these tracks. The guitar riffs are killer and even though the blackened vocals can be a bit annoying at times, at others they are so maniacal and intense that I love them. This is a killer album \m/\m/
