I have long been partial to Greek death & thrash metal, as there have been many great bands and releases over the years. These guys are firmly on the thrash side of the equation and have been highly active during the 2000s thrash revival. Their early material is the best in my opinion, but some of their later stuff has been good, too.

Our long-time friend and significant contributor, CarlG (RIP, my brother; you will be greatly missed around here), had a saying that he used frequently. "Death metal is like pizza and poontang; it's all good, but some is better than others." Well, that statement aptly applies to this album. It is much better than I had anticipated it would be, as I was expecting something brutal and guttural based on the band name, but this is more in the vein of old-school death metal with catchy riffs and hooks. Very good for my tastes!

When I first saw this album a few months back, I immediately thought it was the German band, but then, upon listening, I realized they don't sound anything alike, and the spelling is different (ss). Don't sleep on these guys though; they sound pretty good in their own right.

It was defleshed who turned me onto this band, and I want to say thanks, mate. I hadn't heard of this band until he mentioned them, and I have to say that this is a unique blend of power metal and thrash, and even though the album probably would have been a better fit for the style in the decade of the 1980s, it probably came out at least 10-15 years too late, but it's still a highly entertaining listen for my tastes. To me, the guitarist's talent really stands out in this band.

I see they share the bass player from Ninth Realm, who recently released a good album of their own. She's keeping busy. Check this out!

I am not sure why, but I was thinking this band was more of a modern heavy metal band, so when I started listening to this album, I was pleasantly surprised. These guys are very much death metal, and I should have known that because I've had their 2023 EP in my files for a long time, but I guess I had never listened to it. Be sure to check this one out, as it is a very good album in my opinion.

There have been a lot of changes for this band over the years; I mean, they started out as a 3-piece band from France, and have added and changed members and even homelands over the years, but the one thing that has remained constant is vocalist George "Misanthrope" Wilfinger. I have been a big fan of their past output, but this new album seems even more accessible to me and may turn out to be my favorite effort from them.
