Gloomy thrash metal with some punk influences, side project of the members of Lost Generation. This album has left a strong impression on me ~10 years ago, when I discovered it on the Vibrations of Doom site (the only place where I could find the audio files of all these rare 80's metal albums back then). After 10 years of listening to a lot of all kinds of metal it doesn't seem to be as impressive anymore, but it's still one of my favourite 80's thrash metal albums. I also think the album cover adequately reflects the atmosphere that the music creates.


P.S. Speaking of 80's thrash metal legends - rest in peace Jeff Hanneman, even though I never was a big fan of your band, you were a classic, and Slayer's "Reign in Blood" (1986) is undoubtely one of the best metal albums ever made.
