<Maybe Religious Brutal Thrash Galore!>
I was writing a long-ass review on this album, but it got scrapped in the end. Anyways, this is some really impressive Brutal Thrash Metal work here. I've been listening to this album a lot for the last few days. The whole album sounds like it's straight out from Death Angel's studio album, or Slayer's secret project that explores Kerry King's deep, undisclosed love for less harsh vocals.
The guitars make up over half of the brutality in this album while the drums are a bit weak. The riffs they came up with there are top-notch and sometimes insanely good. Forsaken Hatred, Idolatry and Subconcious have some really clever and fresh riffs, which is pretty neato! Overall production quality? Muddy but not grainy. It all comes up to an album worth collecting.
+ This album is really religious. It doesn't actually pinpoint one specific religion as it features symbols of multiple Abrahamic religions on the album cover. I am really not sure if they're a Christian band, and if the lyrics are supposed to be pro-Christian ("you worship satan prepare to die") or just tongue-in-cheek. Afterall, killing someone who worships Satan isn't very Christian of someone.
Or.. is it??

빠르고 묵직한 데쓰레시. 무게감있지만 시원하게 달려주는 기타와 드럼, 목이 쉰듯한 보컬, 든든하게 뒷받침하는 베이스. 처음엔 프로덕션과 보컬에 적응이 안되었는데 몇 번 듣다보니 이것도 적응이 되어 나름 잘 어울리는 것 같다. 리프들도 캐치하진 않지만 거슬림 없이 듣기 좋다. 멋진 올드스쿨 쓰레시 앨범. 85점.

어지간한 데스메탈을 능가하는 극한의 헤비함. 작살나는 리프와 묵직함으로 중무장한 중전차같은 앨범. 무자비한 스래쉬메탈을 찾고 있다면 필청 앨범!

데스/스래쉬의 육중함을 극대화 시켰는데 리프는 데스메탈의 색체는 거의 없다시피해서 말 그대로 스래쉬에서 음을 더 낮게하고 육중함을 극대화 시킨 데스/스래쉬의 전형을 잘 보여준다. 보컬이 좀 맹물 같아서 거슬리긴 하는데 듣다보면 크게 문제가 되는건 아닌거 같다.
