A true gem and one of the finest metal albums of the 90s, no

"I won't mince words here for as you can see from the other reviews, this album doesn't mess around. It goes for the throat and takes no hostages. Sure it's over 10 years old, but it has aged like a fine wine. The production is very solid, perhaps a bit rough around the edges, but all in all tough as nails and clear like glass. These guys come from Denmark but play a unique brand of heavy metal. It's definitely not death metal, nor is it thrash, but it does have its moments of the latter. It groves like Pantera, has Jazz interludes a la Atheist, is technical like Death, and hits as hard as Morbid Angel. It is really a shame that this album is so difficult to find because it deserves to be recognized with any of the best, be it Carcass, At The Gates, Morbid Angel, etc. If you should happen upon this little piece of magic when you're out hounding the used bins, PICK THIS UP. The rad Dan Seagrave art will give it away."
