It's not often I immediately hit Replay on an album I've just heard for the first time, but god damn is this thing insanely good. It feels like the perfect distillation of everything that is thrash: the raw anti-singing, the headsdown buzzsaw riffing racing itself to the finish, the jaw droppingly badass riffs to give texture to the assault, the constant but tasteful tempo shifts to stave off monotony, the bat**** solos to make everything wild, and the stiff neck from nearly 50 minutes of nonstop headbanging. After a decade and a half it can be easy to forget what it's like to be excited by a new thrash band, but it feels amazing.
