Location made it hard for me to be on the tape trading circuit back in the day, so discovering this band in the 80s would have been hard from rural ohio. Glad I got to hear this now! Rivals all the stateside 2nd wave thrashers ! Recommend ! warchrist30

Killer thrash from the 80s, remastered and re-released to remind the kids how it was done before there was a roadmap.
I never heard of them until now, but these guys hold up well against the best of the popular bands of the era- Death Angel, Violence, Forbidden, early Metallica and early Slayer.
Edit: After a coupla months to digest this, I have to say these guys are one of the best thrash bands ever, period. The fact that they were doing this in 1986 is testament to their fucking genius. Lute FP

The best era of Slayer - Show No Mercy- fused with the black-n-roll swagger of classic Motörhead. Perfect production (specifically the first CD), absolutely killer classic thrash metal on display here. Apparently a reproduction of late 80s/early 90s material. Why weren't these guys famous? Lute FP
