This band is the only reason why Sadus in not the fastest thrash band of all time. This band gets so fast, i easily runs neck to neck with most grindcore out there. Many call this crossover thrash, but i would argue that this is a perfect example of what PURE THRASH sounds like. The fact that the band can pluy a such inhuman speeds, and yet hit every not so precisely is amazing. The band even has some technical ablilities, shown clearly on the song Fretboard Gymnastics, which is a huge plus. So not only are they incredibly fast, they are quite technical as well. Although it was released in 1987, it was recorded in late 1986, so in a way, this is a 1986 album, the same year that darkness descends, and reign in blood was ravaging the thrash scene. Also, i like how they have a song about bashing posers (barrage of Skankers), so you know this band isnt playing around.Man, Wehrmacht mosh-pits must have been crazy!!!If this was released the same year it was recorded, i would have been consider as groundbreaking as the the two albums i just mentioned. This band as well as sadus are quite possibly one of the fastest bands in the world. Not just in the thrash genre, but of all time, even by today's standards. You dont know fast untill you have heard this album. I cant find anything other than Sadus that can get anywhere close to this band. From dark angel, to exhorder to slayer, seputura ect., this band just Blows them away.
