Incredible, overwhelming hardcore attack; the singer screams his lungs out and the band is giving everything as well. Really original songs, unusual guitar riffs, this might have been called “techno thrash” later. You just need this. [10]

Unglaublicher, überwältigender HC-Hammer; der Sänger schreit sich die Stimmbänder raus, und die Band gibt auch ihr Letztes. Die Gitarrenriffs sind absolut ungewöhnlich, hat nichts mit der langweiligen, abgedroschenen 3-chord-Masche zu tun, die damals noch weitverbreitet war; erinnert manchmal an den später populären Techno-Thrash. Pflichtplatte.
