This is by far my favorite Warbringer release to-date. It's really dynamic and full of energy! The riffs are super-tight and the vocals more manageable than on the first few albums! This maybe around 40 minutes in length but it was worth every minute. I'm not biased because I prefer thrash and melodic death over other genres of metal. I just think that they had come up with some riffs thought to be to me as being inconceivable! Totally an annihilation to the eardrums but really they tore it up on the rhythms. The leads were catastrophic to the ears as well, they simply dominated!
The vocals were something that I disliked for their first few albums and not they seem to be a lot less annoying. They go well with the music on here. And keep the album underground, that's for sure. Pretty much all of the songs are very intense but yet versatile. The all are well written, probably some of the riffs that they've had written out of their entire discography. I think that what sets this album apart from their prior releases is that their riff-writing is more of their own, they're not duplicating anything or any other bands. They're showing their influences but their songwriting is all original. ABSOLUTELY.
The production quality is top notch so it makes the instruments and vocals better heard altogether. I like a lot of the riffs that they show on here, they're totally kick ass and fast. The writing is definitely versatile and unique. I like how they constructed their songs and made them way unique and all-encompassing. The music is what takes precedence over everything, though like I said, the vocals are the most changed and best compliment to the music. The quality of the sound makes this a lot better and well done! This album by far is their most noteworthy compilation of songs to this date.
You're able to enoy this online, but buy the CD for better audio quality as well as support for the band! It's worth it and it'll be easy to see the changes that they've made to better able to be heard. These guys just keep getting better and more mature over their prior material album in album out. You'll hear it too immediately that they've made a comeback to superb thrash that they throw out there! That's why it's a better idea to get the physical copy of this album is because you can hear it in full roar. Don't pass this up, it's my favorite one and it won't disappoint!
