1.5 very poorManiacBlasphemer | October 11th 19

For millennials, this album may be energetic and well written, but for those of us who actually caught a few glimpses of how thrash started, we know that this was actually a forgettable album. And the band a total hack. The tracks that are played fast have a timing issue. Furthermore, a lot of the riffs that many have the impression thay are inspired, creative and fresh are actually borrowed from the likes of Slayer, Exodus and Kreator. Wait, let me reformulate, not borrowed but stolen actually. There is not a smidgen of inspiration in this album, only stuff blatantly stolen from other more prolific and creative thrash bands. Now, I have nothing against stealing a few ideas from an established band provided that you are capable of building up on it and create something, if not original, at least decent sounding. Turns out that Exumed had no songwriting talent, only thief-talent in their ranks. This may sound good to those that have not listened a lot of thrash albums, or for youngsters, but once you know how this thrash thing works and listened the more relevant bands, you will notice how sloppy this record is.

Pure, punishing Teutonic thrash metal right here. A little-known gem from 1986.
