Album Review by Sovereign

This is really dirty and scary metal. There is a combination of punk rock and old school thrash metal riffs. The band produces a messy metal music with a hard rock attitude and a never-ending head-banging motivation. Sometimes it is hardcore, other times slow down in sludgy rhythms and the most of the time drives you crazy. The vocals are insane. Screams and squeals with other clean and punk vocals in the background. I think there is a Big Business and Melvins smell with a huge punk music taste in this record. Lighting Bolt and the Jesus Lizard crash with Slayer I do find it quite interesting, really noisy and truly metal. The only problem is that the tracks are not so well structured and there is no inspiration inside the compositions. On the other hand this point leaves the album raw and rough. This is truly punk and the riffs can wedge in your head. This is the advantage of it. Raw and noisy. Original, tough, punk and heavy metal. Riffs and riffs again.
