2nd album from 1990 by this legendary American Thrash Metal band from the San Francisco Bay Area, widely regarded by many fans as the finest release of their career. With guitarist Tim Calvert replacing Glen Alvelais, the band evolved towards a more technical, melodic and progressive sound while retaining the aggression that had defined their acclaimed debut.
Its sound combines the speed and precision of classic Thrash Metal with sophisticated song structures, memorable guitar harmonies and outstanding musicianship. Russ Anderson's remarkable vocal performance and Paul Bostaph's drumming, before his departure to SLAYER, help elevate an album packed with intricate and highly accomplished compositions that remains one of the defining classics of early-'90s American technical Thrash Metal.
Recommended for fans of: HEATHEN, DEATH ANGEL, TESTAMENT and TOXIK.
