This is a dark album, the production makes the atmosphere that way as does the music. I like the riffs for all the songs, and the vocals have a tint of reverb to them. It makes the music seem to be more satisfactory. Musically, I'd have to say for a unique genre of metal, these guys do a good job at identifying brutality within a thrash metal type of feel. The melodies are pretty sick and the drums just nullify your skull. I think that here's a good illustration of a band that will continue to (hopefully) progress musically. They hit every angle on here. Everything about this album is dark hence their origin.

It's not a particularly long LP, just a little over 34 minutes. Definitely worth it if you like somewhat atypical thrash metal. These guys do a good job of making the genre work for them. They kill it on all fronts. The music and the vocals are the highlights here. Some of the riffs are fast tremolo picking yet in other respects, unique melodies. I didn't hold much stock in this album at first. I suppose that you can say that it definitely is dark so that's why it stuck on my shelves for a while. But all in all, it was worth getting this release. The atmosphere is what got me the most. And the leads are pretty good as well.

I suppose the production quality did the band justice and it was a well composed album. Definitely one of the better ones that were released in 2019. It's a definitely good follow-up to their debut. The music is what got me and the darkness. Those are two aspects that I got out of this release. Really, I haven't heard a better blackened thrash metal release except this one. Vektor is more technical/progressive thrash and a lot faster than this band, but still thrash to the basis of the genre. That could've probably been a faulty comparison, I'm just trying to paint the picture here as to what to expect.

Get the CD! Show your support for the music and band. This is a newer band that needs fans. You can easily look them up on YouTube and Spotify, but show the band that you appreciate their music indefinitely! They're worth checking out and I'd say worth it's weight in gold, so to speak. Just so many highlights here that are enough to deafen your eardrums! Blackened thrash metal galore! Give it a try or at least look into it if you want a different style of metal. It's definitely unique without contention, music that will hit home however or whichever angle you want to hear it by!
