2nd album from 1989 by this Nashville-based American band and the release that marked its definitive transition from early Speed Metal into a more technical, sophisticated and distinctive Thrash Metal sound. With the addition of second guitarist Greg Messick, INTRUDER significantly expanded its songwriting approach, resulting in one of the most interesting and original American Thrash albums of the late 1980s.
"A Higher Form of Killing" blends speed, technical skill and melody through dynamic compositions packed with tempo changes, outstanding guitar harmonies and impressive musicianship. Although it never achieved the fame of some of its contemporaries, the album has gradually earned cult status among fans of U.S. Technical Thrash Metal.
