Style: intricate technical thrash death metal
after two impressive, ultra intense and relentless albums straddling the stylistic transition between thrash and death metal, cult fourpiece from California partly sacrifice [1992] key components of extreme performance and epitomize exceptionally technical and aimed at even greater depth structures with more mid-paced tempos, repetitive riffs, noticeable variety, and denser guitar sound, in no way trying to measure then-turning trendy death metal standard, and rather sticking to devastating direction in league with classic Dark Angel albums, where Steve DiGiorgio's bass licks and impossible tricks are simply mind-boggling, much like vocals of Darren Travis, together with tempo shifts remaining within dangerously aggressive lane even during the most complex sections; recent Dutch machine-numbered golden 180g vinyl edition with a pro-printed lyric insert is limited to 750 units, copy #098
