this is the first response [1994] by Tom Araya 's company to the ever-changing environment of extreme music during turbulent mid nineties: always on top, the American supergroup has not abandoned their struggle to remain the heaviest metal band on planet Earth, yet musically it has turned slightly less accessible than their earlier golden albums - harder, darker, sicker, louder, riveting and oppressive record reeks with utmost aggression and unbridled rage, hooking the audience up in its special infectious way, while memorable drum parts are gorgeously performed by then freshly joined Paul Bostaph [Forbidden]; one of early European re-issue comes with authentic foldout booklet-poster design
