Eviction - The World Is Hours Away (1990)

Meaty thrash with socially conscious lyrics - hunger, homelessness, etc, all given a good going over, the band made all the more notable by the gruff vocal delivery of Porter. Mostly mid tempo metal that doesn't really show signs of progression, each track flitters by with a sameness to it, despite the band clearly being accomplished musicians, particularly on 'Our World' and 'Living In Emptiness' with its heavy groove riff. Far greater records have been released by Metal Blade but this isn't too bad although it does lose its appeal after a few listens. 6/10
