LOWPUNCH - "act... revolt... live" (CHOOSE LIFE) 4e, 250 den. By far the best Slovenian old school hc. Fast drumming, dancing rythms, melodic guitars, strong pissed off vocals, sing-a-long choruses. With one world - fantastic. It could be compared with Section 8. Nice booklet with socialy aware lyrics and explanations. Contains 13 new hits plus 11 old song from their long sold out demo. Hardcore classic…
	LUDDITE CLONE - "the arson and the architect" (RELAPSE) - 5e, 300 den.
	MADAME GERMEN - "discografia" (DIY CONSPIRACY) - 6e, 350 den. IIntense and depressive crust that combines aggression and emotion in a magestic way. Similar to Uranus and Remains of the Day.
	MAGRUDERGRIND/ SHITSTORM - split (FUCK YOGA) - 5e, 300 den. This 24-track, 22-minute blasterpiece showcases two of the most ferocious newcomers to the grind/powerviolence scenes in many years. MAGRUDERGRIND bring the scathing, thrash/crossover influenced grinding mayhem while SHITSTORM terrorize with gruffer, speed/death metal-tinged destruction... together creating one of the most abrasive split albums ever conceived. With no direct mimicry, these two young trios manage to walk in the same shoes worn by grind greats like DISCORDANCE AXIS and PIG DESTROYER, both delivering absolutely pummeling performances with only the use of guitar, drum and voice. That's right, no bass players are needed for songs this short, fast and absolutely relentless... and no heavyness is compromised with each band's best recordings to date and a fantastic mastering job by West West Side. Top it all off with unbelievably sick artwork from BARONESS' John Baizley, and you've got a split undeniably destined for full-blown "classic" status.
	MALVEILLANCE "just fuck off" (NEW SCREAM INDUSTRY + ) - 7e, 420 den. "I fucknging love black metal in all of its different forms, from ultra-abstract weirdness to hyperspeed blackened violence and proggy, super complex black metal, but as someone who grew up immersed in hardcore punk, one of my favorite sounds is that of punky, ravenous, ridiculously distorted black metal, bands like Bone Awl, Akitsa, newer Darkthrone, Ash Pool and the like. I can't get enough of this stuff, and Maleveillance from Montreal is one of the best. The earlier Malveillance albums were more along the lines of melancholic black metal, but something happened between then and Just Fuck Off, the 2006 album from Malveillance. This is where the music changed completely into a stripped-down primitive blackcrust assault, all atavistic hardcore riffing and overdriven distortion, rampaging D-beat drums and scorched misanthropic screams. This album still fucking kills - 22 tracks of feral and fucked up thrashing blackened violence, ripping an unbelievable amount of power out of an economy of riffs, most songs using two tops, just hammering it out over hypnotic Discharge-filtered-through-Darkthrone thrash that lays wastes to everything. Awesome!" CRUCIAL BLAST
	MALVEILLANCE "l'appel du neant" (NEW SCREAM INDUSTRY + ) - 7e, 420 den. Brutal, minimalistic, skull-shredding noisecrust. Vicious, uber-atavistic blackened scumpunk, along the lines of Bone Awl, Akitsa, Wold, Absurd and Ildjarn - that's what you get on L'appel du Neant / Le Froid du Nord, a collection of Malveillance's out-of-print cassettes: Le Froid du Nord from 2005, and 2006's L'appel du Neant, both of which were released on Harsh Brutal Cold Productions. Malveillance put their own spin on that kind of blown out crusty savagery though, even more punk rock and thrashing, simplistic mono-riffing blasted over and over again, slathered in filth and distortion, pounded through trance inducing repetition over pummeling D-beat, Discharge-style drums, the vocals a feral screech. The recording for these cassettes is low-fi and raw, but thick and gnarly and super aggro. Like how Akitsa are like some blasted, blackened version of Oi!, Maleveillance are their crusty hardcore punk cousins, fierce and fucked up. The weirdest thing about this album is the whopping eight Ramones covers that are on here, and one cover of "You're Tripping" by pop punk mainstays The Queers! That might sound counterintuitive, but Malveillance takes these pop punk songs and makes them their own, taking songs like "The KKK Took My Baby Away" and "Commando" and "I Don't Want To Be Learned" and douse 'em in distortion and speed and venom, turning them into thrashing, evil blasts of super catchy necropunk. Even the Queers song sounds totally insane filtered through Malveillance's filth."

	MOKSHA - "ansium" (UNDERHILL) - 4e, 250 den. Moksha-Ansium" Second album by Spain's best and most notorious metal band. With killer production and artwork, they have achieved a very personal sound that would fit somewhere between Zao, Converge and Slayer. Already a classic in Spain.
	MOKSHA - "supersilver haze" (UNDERHILL) - 4e, 250 den. The latest album by Spain's finest. Acclaimed by all the Spanish media as the metal album of the year. There has been huge musical evolution since the earlier releases especially with the vocals and musical creativity and diversity. Once again we have an outstanding production job, with the sound moving closer to bands like Entombed, Cathedral, Mastodon or Down. A must have.
	MOKSHA/ MOHO/ ADRIFT/ ANOTHER KIND OF DEATH - "waterloo" 4-way split - (UNDERHILL) - 4e, 250 den. 4 way-split CD right out of the Spanish sludge/doom/noise underground szene. MOKSHA (in the vein of Entombed, Down, Electric Wizard), MOHO (High on Fire, Iron Monkey, Bongzilla), ADRIFT (Pelican, Messhuggah, Neurosis) and ANOTHER KIND OF DEATH (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Isis), each of them delivering 3 (MOHO 2 songs) unreleased songs. In total 11 tracks in 55 minutes.
	MONARCH - "dead men tell no tales" 2xCD (CRUCIAL BLAST) - 10e, 600 den. Hailing from the picturesque Northern Basque Country of France, MONARCH! unleash a slow motion avalanche of impossibly glacial, blackened sludge and hypnotic feedback, each song a series of epic tarpit riffage stretched out eternally over lumbering drums and the cavernous rumble of speaker cabinets. Over these yawning expanses of black void appears the demonic, throat-shredding shrieks and ghostly singing of Emilie, whose petite appearance belies one of the harshest throats in the underground Doom spectrum. Beyond heavy. MONARCH!'s mega-crawling ambient doom/drone/sludge follows in the grand tradition of fellow tarpit adventurers Melvins, Corrupted, Noothgrush, and Black Sabbath, and accompany their music with an iconoclastic design style that decorates their material with deceptively cute imagery drawing from the collective influence of Sanrio, Japanese animation, European graffiti, weirdo hardcore, and skateboard culture. This double CD set contains both MONARCH!'s newest album Die Tonight, and the now out-of-print Speak Of The Sea LP, both released in limited vinyl editions as European imports, with additional unreleased songs exclusive to this release. The North Amercian version of Dead Men Tell No Tales is presented in an offset-printed, 4-panel case printed by Stumptown Printers, with all new original artwork in the band's unique design style.

	NADJA - "desire in uneasiness" (CRUCIAL BLAST) - 7e, 420 den.
	NEGATIVE REACTION/ BENEATH THE FROZEN SOIL - split (TOTAL RUST) - 6e, 360 den. This split presents a bitter and unforgiving struggle between the raw blackened Doom Metal of Swedish Doomsters Beneath The Frozen Soil, and the well-known hateful Sludge of New York's gods, Negative Reaction. There are no winners in this dirty Battle, just fifty bleeding and harsh minutes straight from the most unpleasant side of the genre…Expect for totally punishing experience!

	NUIT NOIRE - "fantomatic plenitude" (ARMAGEDDON) - 6e, 360 den. freaky black punk about faries, reminding me of RUDIMENTARY PENI "The first half includes nine of the latest recordings from the French eccentric genius Tenebras! Recorded February-July 2007. Guitars sound as ethereal as they ever did, Emile joins on vocals as on Infantile Espieglery. The second half of the CD is a live recording from June 16, 2006 - Tapette Fest. It was a great recording anyway but has been mixed and mastered for this release! Nine tracks taken from Lunar Deflagration, Furibond Elegance EP and some older titles like Nightwind and of course Lutina!! Featuring Nicoblast on drums."

	OD VRATOT NADOLU - "ziva/mercury" (FUCK YOGA/ SUPERFI/ INSULIN ADDICTED)
	ORTHRELM / BEHOLD...THE ARCTOPUS - split (CRUCIAL BLAST) - 4e, 250 den. This CDEP features a new, exclusive song each from New York tech/prog metal wizards BEHOLD...THE ARCTOPUS and shred meltdown duo ORTHRELM, overdosing the listener on spastic complexity and insane instrumental prowess that will liquify your grey matter. Adorned in eye-blazing original artwork from VOIVOD's Away. Here's a review of the ORTHRELM/BEHOLD...THE ARCTOPUS split CDEP from Decibel Magazine: "There’s something inherently destructive and careless in music like this. Both Behold… the Arctopus and Orthrelm stake their reputations on disciplined improvisation, but the work itself necessitates auto-destructive imperatives. Their elusive, dizzying sound evokes Zorn’s work with Painkiller and Masada and is equally reminiscent of Coltrane’s abandonment first of bebop, then the matrix he developed with Giant Steps before venturing outward into the spiritual impossibilities of modal jazz. Behold’s “PAINcave” begins a dialogue between guitar and drums that culminates in a regurgitation of what’s just been digested. Unlike Orthrelm, their use of viscous sounds lubricates and combusts, taking a circuitous route through dialogical syncopation, call and response, and load noise intensity. Like Zorn’s work, it’s moody and agitated, at once brooding and decisive, storming and wailing with purpose between chromatic tantrums. Conversely, Orthrelm’s “Pithot 1” abbreviates their 2005 ode to concentration, OV. A series of profound declensions and cartoonish riffs, it scrawls a Mike Patton caricature, then burns it in effigy. As much a song as a trigonometry lesson, Orthrelm’s guitars and drums chase a parabolic rollercoaster, cascading down asymptotic peaks with fearless elegance. Orthrelm draw a smiley face on repetition, the hallmark of nightmare logic allowing cat and mouse to lose meaning only to become a chicken or egg proposition in which the cat’s left chasing its tail. Each generation is more distorted, violent, and funny: as Tweety is to Sylvester and as Tom is to Jerry is to Itchy is to Scratchy ad infinitum; or as Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? playwright Edward Albee once put it, “Good, better, best, bested.”
	ORTHRELM - "ov" (IPECAC) - 7e, 420 den. "4th album from California's premier free-metal power duo. Their music is an infectious blur of breakneck drumming and rapid guitar interplay, continuously inventive and exceptionally impressive. Mick Barr has achieved cult status as one of the best guitar players anywhere! For Fans Of Cromtech, Flying Luttenbachers, The Locust, Supersystem, Cattle Decapitation, Lightning Bolt, and Hella. On Mike Patton's Ipecac imprint."
	PARANOIA KEEPS CRAWLING - "made to be broken" (CIVILIZATION) 5e, 300 den. Desperate and dark noisy hardcore with hints to bands such as His Hero Is Gone and Zeroid but with their very own unique touch. A three-piece power-loaded and ready to kill yours ears! CD comes in a cool DVD box
	PHANTOMSMASHER - s/t (HYDRAHEAD) - 7e, 420 den.
	PHOBIA - "get up and kill" (OBSCENE) - 5e, 300 den.
	PHOBIA - "grind your fucking head in" (OBSCENE) - 5e, 300 den.
	PHOENIX BODIES - "too much information" CD+DVD (SHOVE) - 5e, 300 den.
	POTOP - "channels" (IRON PIG) - 5e, 300 den. "Potop's debut album is also one of the first releases from the newly-minted Iron Pig Records, a new offshoot label of Aurora Borealis. As far as I understand it, Iron Pig is for all of the stuff that is too ugly and mangy to be released on Aurora Borealis. Really...if you consider that AB is the home to the crossover skum-metal of Villains, the Lovecraftian ultradoom of Moss, and the skeletal backwoods black-folk dirges of Wolfmangler, then what the fuck kind of ugliness is going to have to be relegated to the cellar pit of Iron Pig? I present to you...Potop. Jesus. This shit is so negative, so anguished, it sounds like what Eyehategod might sound like if their singer actually had a full blown nervous breakdown in the middle of their set. The band hails from Macedonia, and it turns out that one of the members is our buddy Ivan who runs Fuck Yoga Records, one of the few Macedonian underground metal labels and home to some killer releases from Iron Lung, Elodea, and The Endless Blockade. That love of power violence is in full effect with Potop, and the band channels the slowest, ugliest sludge possible into narcotized dirges splattered with sickening feedback that drones on and on and on, twisted slow motion riffs, pounding glacial drums, occasionally blasting into short bursts of noisy, unstructured grind. But it's the vocals, that intense, tortured wailing and shrieking, a high pitched bloodflecked scream that oozes fear and horror and despair...it's the vocalsn that elevate Potop's extreme sludge to another level of seismic intensity, and I'd almost compare 'em to the idiosyncratic suicidal shrieks of Silencer. Think Burning Witch, Crossed Out, Eyehategod, Despise You, but more vile." CRUCIAL BLAST
	PSYOPUS - "ideas of reference" (REFLECTIONS) - 7e, 420 den.
	PTAO - "4ka" 3xCD (KAZ)
	PUKELIZATION - "storm of resurrection" (OBLITERATION) - 7e, 420 den. brutal death metal from japan
	PUTRESCENCE - "dawn of the necrofecalizer" (NO ESCAPE) - 7e, 420 den. Second full length from these Canadian death/grind poo warriors, faster and more technical than before, featuring an Impulse Manslaughter cover. Amazing artwork by new Aussie scrawler Wes Harrison!
	PUTRESCENCE - "mangled, hollowed out, and vomit filled" (NO ESCAPE) - 7e, 420 den. Debut release from these canadian heavyweights! Massively low-end barbaric grindcore with a totally old school raw death metal vibe. ex- Swallowing Shit/head Hits Concrete vocalist

	REGURGITATE - "hatefilled vengeance" (RELAPSE) - 7e, 420 den.
	RESIST AND EXIST - "music for social change" (ESTAJANOVISIMO) - 5e, 300 den. This is the EP´s of Resist and Exist, never put out in a CD, + 5 bonus tracks from their two demo tapes of 1991 and 1992.

	S.A.T.A.N. - "unfinished chapter..." (ZARAZA) - 4e, 250 den. Grinding thrash violence punk as hell like mix of DISCORDANCE AXIS, ANTICHRIST, DYSTOPIA, RORSCHACH, IRON LUNG & ARTIMUS PYLE
	SABU/ PEOPLE HATE/ FIRING SQUAD - split (EVERYDAYHATE) - 4e, 250 den. grindcore 3way, good stuff
	SAIRAAT MIELET - "controversial history" (SIX WEEKS) - 7.5e, 450 den. SAIRAAT MIELET was unabashedly the most hated band in Finland during the late '80s and early '90s. Their outright disdain for their country's addiction to alcohol led them to confront this national problem with some of the most hard line straight edge hardcore ever made. This earned them great animosity from their fellow punks, hence the title of this compendium, now available for the first time on CD anywhere. Let it be known, this is not Boy Scout youth crew drivel or mosh core nausea. This is violent, fast hardcore played with amazing musicianship belted out at lightning speeds (would it be on Six Weeks if it wasn¹t?) with the most intense screaming vocals ever recorded (no hype, just fact). This CD compiles both of their ultra-rare EPs (both limited to 500 copies) from the early '90s with brand new artwork and liner notes from the band and packages it in an awesome digipak gatefold sleeve.
	SAMUS - "desengano" (CRUCIAL BLAST) - 7e, 420 den. Desengano is a surreal landscape of mutated sludge freakery comprised of lumbering sludge riffs that contort into tape/turntable manipulations amidst melodious keyboards and sustained guitar tones/drones. Ranging from the crushing droning doom-laden EARTH-esque guitar thud of "The Happy Sultan", and the bountiful melodies that playfully flow under the sugary electronica and plunderphonic jazz of "Super Orthopedic Caravan", to the expansive Ennio Morricone-influenced slide guitar ambience found in "Who's Pumping Estrada" and the wall reverbating drones and tape oscillating backwash that drifts into the no-wave dissonance of "Bone Ape Tit", SAMUS create a cohesive, multi dimensional soundtrack comprised of crushing Corrupted/Eyehategod style sludge, Tape Beatles style plunderphonics/sound collage, and opium-den cartoon soundtracks.
	SECURITY THREAT - "the truth is out" (SELFMADEGOD)
	SELF DECONSTRUCTION - s/t (LOST RIVER)
	SETE STAR SEPT - "morbid garden" (LOST RIVER) - 5e, 300 den. japanese grindcore masters
	SETE STAR SEPT - "revision of noise" (FUCK YOGA) - 5e, 300 den.
	SETE STAR SEPT/ CHUGAKUSEI KANOKE - split (LOST RIVER) - 5e, 300 den. SSS: insane grindcore, CK: doom junk rock
	SEVERE TORTURE - "misanthropic carnage" - 8e, 500 den.
	SEVERED HEAD OF STATE/ SCUM NOISE - split (BASEMENT) - 4e, 250 den.
	SEWN SHUT - "re-discovering the dead" (SELFMADEGOD) - 5e, 300 den. The CD compiles 29 songs from all vinyl splits with Squash Bowels, Embalming Theatre, Ulcerrhoea, Mind Collage, Man In Shackles and three additional tracks taken from Polar Grinder LP. 27 minutes of heavy, ripping and ferocious Scandinavian grindcore madness with dual low/high vocals, breakdowns, non-complex metal guitar riffs, crisp and clean drums, and simply straight on hardcore brutality!
	SCHIFOSI - "absentium existence" (THRASH STEADY SYNDICATE) - 5e, 300 den. Absentium Existence picks up where "ill winds from outopia" and "half lit world" left off and carries on their legacy of brutal epic melodic crust. Their best effort so far in songwriting and production. These songs hauntingly linger long after listening. For the uninformed, SCHIFOSI are from Australia and plays broodingly dark heavy hardcore with female vocals. From the first tortured drum beat this will have you grooving and dancing whilst crying about the demise of mother earth. Totally morose lyrics completing the dark music. An excruciating aural pummeling to complement the coming apocalypse.
	SIDUS TENEBRARUM - "born from the dark rib" (SUFFERING JESUS) - 7e, 420 den.
	SINK - "the process" (KULT OF NIHILOW) - 7e, 420 den. finnish drone music
	SKULLFLOWER - "IIIrd gatekeeper" (CRUCIAL BLAST) - 7e, 420 den. A reissue of Skullflower's acclaimed 1992 album IIIrd Gatekeeper, featuring the lineup of Matthew Bower (guitar), Stuart Dennison (drums and vocals), and Anthony DiFranco (bass). IIIrd Gatekeeper is an immensely heavy album that was originally released on HeadDirt, the label run by Justin Broadrick of Godflesh/Jesu/Final fame back in the early 90's, and featured Skullflower at their heaviest, grinding out slow, sludgy riffs and crushing, almost industrial rhythms amid a tempest of psychedelic guitar noise and dense sheets of feedback - easily the most crushing, rock-based music that Skullflower ever produced. IIIrd Gatekeeper served up a skulldozing dose of post-industrial dirge rock that sat comfortably next to Godflesh, Swans, and Ramleh in terms of dark, druggy, hypnotic lumbering heaviness. This is one of our favorite albums ever at Crucial Blast, and we are presenting this reissue with new liner notes, a new package design that retains all of the original artwork from the HeadDirt release, and a remastering job courtesy of Scott Hull at Visceral Sound.
	SKULLFLOWER - "orange canyon" (CRUCIAL BLAST) - 7e, 420 den. The new full length from the legendary UK free/drone/psych outfit Skullflower, featuring some of the most searing, synapse scorching droneworks that Matthew Bower (the man behind Skullflower, as well as Sunroof!, Total, and The Hototogisu) hasunleashed to date, in our humble opinion. Orange Canyon Mind is the follow up to 2002's awesome Exquisite Fucking Boredom (Tumult Records), and continues that albums utter mutation of stoned out riffs pulled taffy-like into eternity/oblivion and star-rupturing blasts of sonic white light. Over the 8 tracks/60 minute running time, Bower and cohorts build massive horizontal drones and melodic supernovas. Superb, beautiful, brain melting stuff.
	SKULLFLOWER - "tribulation" (CRUCIAL BLAST) - 7e, 420 den. "Skullflower are a solid block of noise, a massively distorted, instrumental, feedback generator of sorts. Sounds swirl around in a barage of reverberation, as guitars and bass drone on and on for days. There aren't really any riffs per say, just orchesrated noise with a squeal here and there. No vocals, no drums, just peaks and valleys of hum. If you dig Sunn O))), these guys are for you. "
	SLANG - "humanistic disorder" 3" (KAZ) - 4e, 250 den. sweet japanese hardcore punk along the lines of GAUZE
	SLOTH - "a whole other world..." (AT WAR WITH FALSE NOISE) - 7e, 420 den. great!
	SNOWBLOOD - "being and becoming" (LAWGIVER/ SUPERFI) - 5e, 300 den. The Scottish quartet's second release, and a quantum leap forward from their debut The Human Tragedy. A full 68 minutes of epic Godspeed-esque build-ups with crushing Neurosis-style payoffs, with much more in the way of dynamics and a fluid flow between movements.
	SNOWBLOOD - "the human tragedy" (LAWGIVER/ SUPERFI) - 5e, 300 den. Thou shall bang your head! Snowblood takes no prisoners with their dirty sludgecore that sounds pretty fucking evil to me (and so is the artwork from this CD. Must be the fog of Scotland). Do not expect too much fancy and pretty parts like Isis or Switchblade, but a more negative atmosphere reflecting doom and destruction. Neurosis and Noothgrush come to mind. Overall Snowblood overwhelm not so much, but creates uncomfortable tracks with a metallic background. Long songs, but enough variation to keep you interested.
	SORE THROAT/ NEW YORK AGAINST BELZEBU - split (POWER IT UP) - 5e, 300 den. SORE THROAT WITH 10 TRACKS OF TOTAL NOISE AND 26 BLASTING NOISE/GRINDCORE ATTACKS BY THESE BRASIL OUTFIT
	SOUVENIR'S YOUNG AMERICA - "an ocean without water" (CRUCIAL BLAST) - 7e, 420 den.

	STARGAZER - "occidentale magick" (WEIRD TRUTH) - 7e, 420 den.
	STR2 - "ne zaboravaj" (BLASHYRKH) - 5e, 300 den.
	SU19B - discography (RSR) - 7e, 420 den. One of the heaviest of the Japanese grind legions, combining ultra slow sludgecore with brutal powerviolence into miniature blast/crawl violations that are mapped out in their entirety on this complete discography disc that was recently released by the German grind label R.S.R.. Su19b rose from the ashes of Final Exit, who for a short while were the Japanese response to the freeform noisecore of bands like 7 Minutes Of Nausea and Anal Cunt. Instead of playing five-second blasts of formless grindnoise though, Su19b pretty much went in the opposite direction, and came up with a brutal concoction of highspeed thrash and extremely slow and monstrous doom/sludge riffs, dropping huge downtuned powerchords like bombstrikes over sparse percussive explosions, chords drifting off into sickening feedback and long pregnant pauses between notes, then suddenly erupting into blastbeat driven powerviolence. The label compares 'em to a cross between Corrupted and Crossed Out and that's pretty much right on the nose, with a vocalist who spews gut-churning, totally unintelligible growls and interludes of creepy audio samples or dark electronic drones appearing in between the blasts of grueling blast n' creep. It's intense stuff for sure. This discography collects everything that Su19b has released since their formation in the late '90s, a colossal 42 tracks of subsonic heaviness that includes their compilation tracks, the self-titled 7" on Blurred, unreleased studio tracks from an aborted split 7" with No Fiction, their sides from the split 7"s with Jenny Piccolo and Pignation, more unreleased jams from a cancelled 3" CD release, and their 1997 demo cassette. The full color booklet folds out to display track info, flyer art, cover art from all of their releases, and more.

"Harm" has been mastered by Greg Chandler (from Esoteric) and contains 7 tracks for more than 50 minutes of heavy,obscure, thick and beefy Doom/Death Metal. This album is not a tribute for the nineties and the glory days of the genre, but a proof that Doom/Death is still kicking in the twenty first century and even more relevant than ever.

Former/current members of In Decades Decline, Shank, Nation Of Finks & Atomgeviter, among others. Stripped down, to the point heavy hardcore, drawing influences from Ringworm, early Integrity, Damnation AD and Cursed.
	THE RED CHORD - "fused together in revolving doors" (ROBOTIC EMPIRE) - 5e, 300 den.  The jaw-dropping first release from Boston's newest kings of extreme music. Spanning all facets of death metal, hardcore and grind, The Red Chord play a radically unique form of heavy music. Masterful experimentation is displayed on this impressive introduction, with tempos ranging from breakneck speed to all out pummeling breakdowns. Plenty of fret board picking, double bass, blasts and sick drum fills to please all the metal heads, along with some of the most brutal mosh parts ever captured on magnetic tape, destined to ignite the pit dwellers into a frenzy. The production on this is beyond top notch, making this the debut to end all debuts.
