Truely peerless mastepeice. On this album, they didnt realy focus as much on technicality, as they did on their secound album, but hints of Sadus's outstanding technical albilities can still be heard.This shows thrash streched to its absolute limit in terms of speed and agression. And despite being very chaotic,this is far more technical and competent that anything from slayer or metallica. Slayer sounds very sloppy and tame by comparrison.This as well as Swallowed In Black could quite possibly be the fastest/most brutal thrash album ever as this is skull bashing, extreme thrash, faster than Reign In Blood, Darkness Descends, and Pleasure to kill.Most of the songs are 310+bpm in terms of speed.the bass on this album really makes it stick out from most others of this period. With numerous early death metal riffs, bass solos, technical bass playing and even pounding blastbeats, this is full of primal agression. This is far from unispired thrash, as it is better than most thrash albums you will find out there. Screw this idnuf/a person retard, who needs to go back to his rap shit,and doesnt know real talent when he hears it. The fact that Sadus is even capable of palying as fast, and as technical as they do only shows how unique, and superior this band is. This is probably my favorite thrash album of all time, rivaled only by Wehrmacht's Shark Attack in speed. Full of Semi-Technical riffs and a fury that only Sadus can deliver.Sadly, they dont get half the credit they deserve.And, btw, what i just said is more than an oppinion. It is a carefully thought out analysis of this band, based on their musicainship, and technical capablities. You are hardly a thrasher if you dont own this album, so GET IT!!!!!! Or, certain death awaits you!

Excellent unforgiving thrash. Sadus performs truly breakneck speed thrash, reminiscent of 80s Kreator. In opposition to many thrash bands, the bass is also stunning, as one would expect with DiGiorgio in the band. Unfortunately, the mussy production makes this quite hard to hear, and holds the album back a little.

If I like their future albums I might re-listen to this, I'm not sure I was in the right setting. This confirms what I thought of their demo: the highs are very high, this has the potential to be thrash I love, but it also still features wankery solos here and there (not too many) and speedy zzz tracks (4,5) or slower tracks with an odd groove (6 I think it was) which don't do much for me. Vox have improved, don't really get annoyingly shrieky anymore and isntead evoke bm in places. Riffz are still fat and diverse (see 2 or 9 for instance). Idk this is great but I need to listen to it more closely. 3.6

It's fast, I mean really fast. Thrash at it's fastest (fast?) FAST! Anyways this is a pretty awesome album i stumbled across while searching for the fastest old school thrash bands I could find. It flies by in under a half hour but you're left with one of the most unrelenting releases ever. Check it out if you're ready for your eardrums to be pummled.
