Frothing, furious and brutal death metal from Florida, that came with the reputation of seemingly unstable frontman Glen Benton and the nice inverted cross he'd scorched onto his forehead, and all in the name of Satan.All seemed a bit of a novelty at the time but this is a rollicking good record, causing some severe hammer blows and never letting up for one second, even if it's evil-for-evil sake lyrics are somewhat predictable and lacking the intelligence or nastiness of some of the more alarming black metal bands.
It's all out war on the church here, the drums coming at quite a trigger pace, the guitars raging and Benton violently cackling into the mic, and with cuts like 'Lunatics Of God's Creation' you see why the band caused some controversy when they hit the road, but overall it's simply another death metal album, but a decent one at that amid much frothing controversy.
7.5/10
