This is a speed metal powerhouse album. I have to say that I definitely like the music more than I do the vocals, though. That’s not really a complaint. I have that same comment about a lot of this type of music. I will say that the fact they don’t throw in a couple mellower tunes hurts it, though. The formula wears a little thin, and it all starts to sound the same after a while.

Fierce, frantic and driving, this thing is on fire. I love the guitar work on this monster.

As strong as the opener was, I like this one better. It’s just as meaty in the music department, but I think the vocals work better. The instrumental break is positively on fire

Not a big change, we get more driving metal here. It’s another strong tune, but it doesn’t really stand out.

Some of the riffing on this is on fire. The whole cut has lots of meat on the bones. Yet, it’s not enough of a change to really stand out. That said, the dual guitar soloing on the instrumental break is exceptional. Given the competition, that says a lot.

Again the instrumental section on this is really the biggest shining star of the track. That said, the whole thing has a unique sound and ferocity that sets it apart. While this is not any kind of paradigm shift, it’s enough of a change to stand out.

Driving ferocity is at the heart of this screaming hot tune. It has a lot of old school underground metal vibes. It’s a powerhouse.

The formula is definitely wearing thin by this point. It’s a shame because this is another solid track.

Driving metal is on the menu here, but you probably figured that out. Again, the monolithic nature doesn’t let this thing really stand tall, but it’s just as effective as pretty much anything here.
