"Fantastic straight up thrash. However, the guitarist has a sort of classical influence (I'm not a musician so pls bear with me) to his guitar style. But make no mistake this is kick yo butt thrash. The guitarist does a great job of playing rhythm as well as lead guitar. And oh does he play lead guitar - his leads are scorching - I mean his strings must be about to catch fire. However, he does a great job of playing with definition - by that I mean it's not a bunch of hyper speed "mush" that sounds like one never ending bunch of noise. This dude can REALLY play guitar. And the other musicians do a damn fine job; the singer complements the guitar player well as he has a scorching voice. He can flat out sing - seriously, he in my opinion has a great metal voice that isn't just highs - he's got some cajones in his voice to add to the fact that he can blast out the highs. Drums have a solid pound to them; the drummer is damn fine. Also, the bass player lays in fast thick riffs in keeping up with the lead guitar rather than plunk, plunk, keep the rhythm. All I can say is if you are a fan of thrash, this is a hidden jem. Seriously, you will be very much surprised (and might just hurt your neck) by this one. If you like kick your face in thrash that's original and not the same old thing . . . don't think. BUY this!!!"
