With the recent discussion of Big Four the canadian version, I figured we need to discuss this band. Their career is long and storied but this album is as thrash as thrash gets and equally as hard as anything from the US of A. From the opening number of Comatose to my favorite track Black Hashish, the album as a whole works. Rob Urbinati shows up as always for this record, delivering his harsh crisp vocals as instantly recognizable Sacrifice.
That being said, there are lots of elements here that span other genres. Personally, it's what I look for in a thrash album, and this one delivers. Under no circumstance is this record anything other than pit worthy, but, it also showcases true growth and a chip in the game of thrash to argue for Canada being successor to the thrown.
Joe Rico and Urbinati play off of each other in a winning combo with Pym and Watts bringing up the rhythm to match ferocity and pit worthy sonic violence. Hitting that progressive sound as well, all things considered you're missing out if you dont buckle down and listen in. A year old already this release is here to stay and cemented in the history of hard music forever.
