In your face thrash metal galore!! These native Californian's put together one helluv a good release here. Be it the music, the production quality, the mixing, vocals, the whole deal Death Angel marks into their discography. Every song on here averages 4-5 minutes in length. Definitely worth checking this album out. You can always go on Spotify to check this out. Pure thrash metal to the core. I think this is one of their top releases to date. If you have a contention regarding that, just listen to the whole album and you'll see what I'm talking about. I don't think there will be any arguments on how good this release is.
The guitars because of the production quality are a little bit muffled, but not enough to count this as one of their best releases. The energy is way high on here. You can feel the vibe of the album it's totally upbeat thrash and vocal destruction. I like every song on here. Things seem to fall into place. The rhythms, the leads, the vocals and the music overall is superb. I cannot get enough of this release. I can play it over and over and not get sick of it. It's one of those albums you can play and hear different things each time you play it. Kind of like Metallica's albums of the 80's. This one chalks up within the realm of 'Act III' (1990).
Riff-tastic album, if you're a guitar player then you can hear what I'm talking about. The vocals compliment the music. Not too harsh, just enough to emit cosmic energy to this. The background music is good as well. Every song on here with worth mentioning. So if you're a fan of thrash metal and you don't have this, get it! All I can say is just that they conquered in every aspect on here. Totally worth getting. I'm not sure of the new release it's coming out on May 31st. So we'll have to make a comparison as to which one has the best energy and music! For now, we have to focus on past releases.
In summation, Death Angel chalks up one heck of a good release here. All the songs are good and everything flows smoothly. I was taken aback when I hear this album. Totally rips in every sense of the word. The one thing that I'd take out though are the chronic leads. That's the only beef I have for the album. Otherwise, simply a masterpiece. They would score higher if it weren't for those annoying leads. So yeah, shout your opinion on this. I'm sure it'll be positive. Get this album ASAP!!
