Wow, I've never even heard of these guys. Fantastic stuff. Just bought a used copy through Amazon. Very excited.
If you dig that then you need to own their debut, Suffering Hour. I don't know which one I prefer, but both are godlike. Suffering Hour is more death thrash, but not so much Demolition Hammer or Morbid Saint. It's more just a progressive death thrash album that doesn't really sound like anything else that isn't also Anacrusis. It's raw and skullkrushing as **** in any case. And it was released in 1988, so it's pretty mindblowing how ahead of its time it was.
Edit: On further inspection, Screams and Whispers is probably the better album, but Suffering Hour is still an essential classic.

Fallen Empire just can't stop the ridiculous jam death/black metal. One outstanding release after another, this one still sounding fresh, twistedly technical and unrelenting

Suffering Hour is a classic thrash, not progressive thrash.

I'm not a good judge of what is and what is not progressive, but it's definitely no garden variety thrash album.

This is such a unique album. It's like part death/thrash and part doom, with mid tempo parts... and Kyle Thomas sounds psychotic.

This song is like the only good thing on this album, and it totally destroys.

If someone told me two years ago that I'd be listening to tons of DM and loving it I'd have laughed in his stupid monkey face.
