REVIEWS :

This album is a project of Mick Harris (drummer of NAPALM DEATH) and Mitch Harris (RIGHTEOUS PIGS guitarrist) and was recorded in 1989. The album sounds a lot like NAPALM DEATH, its very speedy, and the lyrics have a good low end to them, similar to Barney's but not quite as low pitched or growly. The lyrics are kindof political, the riffs are punchy in places...i dont know, i cant explain anything about this band without saying 'its a lot like napalm death' and I don't know if thats good or bad. The CD is decently produced, but maybe a tad thin. Artwork is cool, by Miran Kim of _Hellraiser_ fame. If you're into NAPALM DEATH you might like (or hate!) this album, you have to check it out. It is just ok, i would'nt highly reccomend it but I wouldn't say it sucks either.

Rating : 6.75
