Artist Origin: USA
Style: pounding expressive energetic thrash metal
regardless that legendary Bay Area thrash icon brings almost nothing new into their music lately, it would be an absolute sin to underestimate their efforts, and this thirteenth studio full-length worked out after four years since the previous LP takes no fuckin' prisoners with the violent opening Children of the Next Level already, bringing back the apocalyptic story of disastrous Heavens Gate sect, while the rest of eleven pounding, energetic tunes surprise by solid diversity with quite progressive deviations [an Alex Skolnick trademark and input first of all], catchy heavy metal influence, precisely refined rhythmics, and effective vocal harmonies, swimmingly summing up the thirty plus year long road paved by Bay Area crew; German gatefold sleeve double black vinyl edition
