Holy shit, this is amazing. This is a fantastic compilation of demos from 1989 to 1990. But what really stands out about this release is how fundamentally catchy and well-written these songs were back in the day. Every tune here bursts with energy and enthusiasm, the result of a young band who hadn’t the chance to be Big. Yet they fkn rule !! Pretty much every riff on these tracks are winners, and each track has enough hooks to not only make the songs but fucking addicting. These guys obviously put a lot of time into making these songs as good as they could be, and it shows in every aspect here. This is old-school, catchy thrash metal at its absolute finest. The more primitive playing on these demos (though still pretty damn technical) definitely works in the band’s favor, perfect riffs, raspier vocals, guitar and bass work are top-notch of course, and the production on this reissue is surprisingly good; with its hefty tone and instrument clarity. What else do you really need? A classic !!
