as this impressive longplay [2016] by legendary entity proves, far from all return and reunion initiatives in heavy music fields are exhausted: who could even think that the day will come when charismatic vocalist of 1989-1993 era Mike Howe will be back in kult American ensemble, while its music will firmly turn again towards more gritty, intense and definitely heavier metal way?; it is curious that back in the day completely different musicians were playing together, and this recording is the first time when Howe appears with a longtime band leader Kurdt Vanderhoof - refreshing new tracks sound remarkably strong with trademark memorable refrains and penetrating voice of Mike, making it an instant classic of the genre!; recent Japanese edition comes with OBI strip, extra booklet written in Nihongo, and additional Long Time Coming track as bonus
