Style: obscure aggressive thrashing death metal

historical full-length debut [1991] by kult Scandinavian four-piece, that has made a long way since in their extensive career, triumphantly marks the primordial, rough and savage death metal era, manifesting primeval aggression, enriched by twisted and obscure atmosphere - eight relentless cuts sound closer to the bands like early Tiamat, Treblinka or Merciless, not to forget vicious savage thrash metal influence, shaping entirely unique sound; recorded at legendary Sunlight Studio in just six days of autumn of 1990, they managed to get away from typical Stockholm stamp, delivering an impressive, fundamental monument to the time that passed, where heavy guitar riffs, feral vocals, and simple yet firm rhythm dominate, conveying pure and raw extreme metal character; recent British edition comes with a remastered sound, authentic cover artwork and design
