This is the band’s third album released in ’89, and to me, they should be in “the big four” and not Slayer. For starters, they are better players, they write better songs, and they have a knack for writing killer grooves and hooks. The title track alone is better than anything that Slayer have put out, and it is the perfect thrash metal tune.

The whole first side is so good and gives Bonded By Blood a close run. Just to prove they are not a one trick pony, they come out with killer tracks like Cajun Hell, which sees the band thinking outside the box. This is an awesome track with a great groove and vibe. My favourite track is Verbal Razors which just smokes.

I’m sure most thrash fans will already own this, but if you don’t, then go out and procure one as it’s a great record.

9/10 from The Grooveman.
