much talked about Wisconsin own four-piece is one of those entities that do not change an inch of their characteristic sound, but manage to come back again and again with fairly impressive records - the seminal sophomore longplay [1997] has started it all for them, bursting out with massive, thick, crushing riffs and martial rhythms, where guttural low-end vocals of Dave Matrise the frontman with the occasional high-end scream for the diehard headbangers' pleasure strike with precision amidst a backdrop of relentless blast beats, creating a sound that is both primal and methodical, blending groove-laden death metal with hints of thrash, so that nine extreme and complex cuts gain decent memorability, confirming their huge potential, balancing brute force with moments of eerie melodic tension; first time ever - British gatefold sleeve clear vinyl edition with additional Darkness Foretold track is limited to 1000 units
