As soon as the Slayer-esque 'Overlord' comes chugging in and fires out various riffs, crashings and vicious solos, you know that Infernal Majesty, from the US, are a cut above your average thrash act, bringing to mind mid-career Sepultura, especially in the raspy vocal style. the album isn't bestowed with the greatest album cover, but it's a heavy record, the epic 'Night Of The Living Dead' takes no prisoners and the buzzsaw guitars on 'S.O.S.' help the bass and drums plod ominously before the band launch into fury reminiscent of Possessed at their most evil. Some quality on here from a band who never went any distance but had a small following of true believers and it's this kind of band that makes the cult of thrash what it is today, a remarkable moment in time within the metal genre.
7/10
