These Bay area were thrashers were merely young teen's when they spewed out this fast-paced mini-classic, leaving many elder statesmen of the scene hanging their heads in shame.Death Angel were always one of the finest thrash bands around, their music a blend of refreshing speed and razor-sharp melody that didn't just lumber with the usual heavy crunch going on at the time.
Admittedly, this is raw, primal speed metal but there is a complex quality to the record that was only a hint at what was to come from the next two studio releases.
I was never a sucker for a majority of the Bay Area bands but Violence, Mordred and Death Angel, for me anyway, stood head and shoulders above the rest, cult acts who deserve appreciation forever.
8/10
