Twenty-seven minutes of pure thrash metal mayhem! Abattoir take the rattling, oily sneer of early Metallica and bump it up a notch into the realms of say Agent Steel. Frenzied solos, hurtling drums, volatile vocal spits - it's all here right from the off as they explode like a firework in your face with the racing, raging intensity of opener 'Screams From The Grave' and take in the havoc-drenched delights of the maniacal title track, the speedy steel of 'The Living and the Dead' plus a blazing cover of Motorhead's Ace of Spades' before finishing off their prey with 'Game of Death' which is the longest track on this platter. Certainly a thrash metal fest worth diving into if you need an instant pick-me-up.
7/10
