This album gives you a raw dirty sound, listening to this album makes me want to go ride a motorcycle in the middle of a desert. It’s a pretty decent debut album. It will really appeal to you if you’re a fan of Slayer, Warbringer or Testament. The vocals are a combination of all three of the bands. Shouting, clean singing and death growling. On some songs they put special effects on the vocals, which I don’t really like very much, but it adds to the album. On the song “Mask” they incorporate some female vocals for awhile, which doesn’t really fit the song at all. “Memento Mori” probably has some of my favorite vocal moments. They start doing a shrill scream type vocal style, which is probably the best vocal moment on the entire album. Shortly after that, they start singing like the lead singer from Godsmack.

The guitar work on the album isn’t anything over the top spectacular for a thrash metal band. The intros to the songs are the best moments in the songs. The riffs are always squealing away at the beginning but once the vocals kick in they get kind of lost in the mix. Some songs have guitar solo’s which are nice to hear, but they aren’t very long or amazing. The best guitar solo on the album is on the song “High Blood Pressure”. It’s slow and drags on for a little while and sounds very blues influenced. Overall the guitars on the album are done well. The drumming on the album is well done also nothing really worth mentioning though, along with the bass which is inaudible.

This is a good album and is recommended if you enjoy some good dirty thrash, fans of the newer Slayer era will enjoy it for sure.
