Spewed out in '89 on the Steamhammer label, this is a cracking US thrash record, diverse lyrics and a stonking thrash album cover to match. This five-piece burn the ears with a fast-paced Slayer meets Anthrax thrash, although minus the satanic influence of the former, topics range from world awareness, political abuse and social issues, but it's all fired out at machine gun pace, the guitars of Garcia and Gonzales scorching the wax and lead voice Phil Flores has a hardcore edge to his vocal menace. Big, moshing choruses, particularly on the title cut, and a slow plodder intro to 'Living Good' certainly brings to mind Anthrax and possibly a heavier D.R.I.
Good, solid thrash that goes for the throat, hell, there's even an element of early Dark Angel in its blistering assault of the soul.
7.5/10
