Okay so it sounds like the vocalist recorded the vocals in a completely different room from the rest of the band who provide an almost claustrophobic thrash in the background, actually, the vocalist sounds like a mix of can't be bothered or breathless but I'm liking the chugging riffs and simple thrash work outs. All a little basic, but that's how real thrash could be, wrap it up in a decent album sleeve and there you have it, quality US thrash that brings to mind early Slayer and probably a majority of other thrash acts from the time. Once the forty-minutes are up, you won't feel cheated however, 'Massive Devastation', and the guttural rumble of 'Innocent Submission' are slices of decent speed metal, bringing to mind early Dark Angel, and it's actually more accomplished than one realises. Again though, bands like this were coming thick and fast at the time so many would have drowned by the wayside, but I like it.
6.5/10
