Very cool lead playing, tasteful and skillfull playing by Mia, she sings, plays guitar and bass, for that she has all my respect. There is an undeniable intensity and authenticity about this release that appeals to me. The main riffs and leads on the songs are great and the rythm is pummeling and worthy of the horns. Some tracks have some ferocious riffing mixed with a catchy as hell chorus that inspires my head to bang. Once again the lead playing is tasteful and fits the tunes really well. The vocals on the record are outstanding. I'll say it again The playing here, especially on guitars, is spectacular. The drums are mercyless also. Ultimately, what makes this album unique is the versatility. It manages to be catchy and also nasty enough to shock the masses, which is an impressive middle ground to accomplish for this style. The overall sound of this album actually points a bit more towards the technical and extreme era of Thrash. The pacing is along the lines of a mostly up tempo thrash sound, particularly during the vocal sections when riff layering creates a shimmering atmosphere that lightens the otherwise heavy punch of the usual melodic riffing associated with straight line Heavy metal. The way Mia sings is a mix between black and thrash metal and the result is killer. Words can't do justice to this amazing album. Go listen to this now !!
