Believed to be one of the hardest metal albums to get hold of, Impact's 'Take The Pain' may have a poor album cover but it's a cracking old school thrash record which combines clinical speed that one would associate more with late '80s Euro thrash, but there's also am hint of Slayer in the melodies. There's nothing fancy about it but if you like all manner of thrash bands ranging from Dark Angel to Coroner then this should appeal. The riffs cut deep to the bone, just check out the assaults of the title track, the superb groove thrash of 'In The Flesh' and the vicious 'Kill On Kommand' featuring explosive drums. 'Take The Pain' contains all the ingredients to make this a cult thrash opus.
7.5/10
