Badly underrated death metal classic. Even though this came out in 1994, most of the music was written in 1985/86 (there are demos floating around proving this). This is death metal in the vein of bands like Possessed and Necrovore, though with a much greater degree of technicality than those two groups. The riffs are technical, yet hugely thrash-oriented, and the drumming is insanely (pun intended) fast and frantic without the mechanic blast-beat feel. There are a couple versions of the album floating around; I prefer the 1994 release since it has the original vocal style and a greater thrash-based feel, but no matter what if you're a death metal fan you owe it to yourself to track this album down.
