This is solid thrash metal circa 1990 from the Netherlands. These unknown guys only recorded this debut and then vanished into thin air but boy am I glad they set their minds to this nine-track affair. There was something rather bruising and street-wise about 'Terrortory' especially on the likes of the weighty 'Who's For Dinner' which was pretty long for a thrash track clocking in at over seven-minutes. Chris Ploegmakers vocals were always tough-sounding and convincing over the buzzing riffs and thrashing drum, and it was a record that never failed to entertain. The title track, with its opening melody, and the epic 'Ritual Killings' were my favourite tracks from an album that should have put the band in good stead, but alas, like so many others they folded; but from its brooding riffs to its gloomy cover this was a very cool record at times.
8/10
