A straight up relentless crossover thrash band from D.C., this is the debut record of Red Death, and it's sixteen minutes of rigorous, punky riffage. The album starts with six straight punches to the gut, "Palace Of Unending Pain" being the highlight of those. But when the bomb that is "Alleviate" is dropped from the skies to wreak havoc on the world below with a crushing build-up followed by more thrashy hardcore fit with solos, the album will never be the same. "Atomic Howl" scours the wreckage left in its predecessors wake, and finally "Perpetrator" ends everything with one last monstrous fist to the face, bringing the album full circle. Long story short, this album is crossover thrash in all its essence. Listen to it if you dig that kind of stuff.
