Favorite track: Brainwave.

Absolute whiplash, this is modern thrash done perfectly. The riffs are loud, fast, and aggressive. Riley's vocals are unlike anything I've heard but fit the genre amazingly. This album is not ashamed of what it is and shoves it in your face in the best way possible.
Favorite track: Acid.

The release documents the self-titled 7”, “This World” (from “The Extermination Vol: 2” LP compilation on Flatspot Records), “Hammer of Doubt” (2010 version from “America’s Hardcore” LP compilation on Triple B Records), and the entirety of “The Armageddon Blues Sessions.” All tracks have been lovingly remastered by the band’s longtime producer Arthur Rizk with the release being rounded out by stunning artwork from Portland illustrator Matt Stikker.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
