Review by Adam M on November 5, 2025.

This new album features a great sound that is a nice combination of thrash metal with a sort of groove tone that is very infectious.  It has a sort of groove to it that is very catchy and makes the band appealing to a whole new generation of listeners.  It is very catchy music that has the right amount of aggression to blend in and form a complete experience.  The sound of the band is unique and somewhat akin to Celtic Frost.   There are memorable songs like "Sacrificial Lamb".

The musicianship on the album is solid with groovy guitars and vocals that are somewhat nefarious and really interesting.  The production is modern sounding and adds to the vibe of the album which is somewhat modernized.  There is still room for improvement as there isn’t really an overly thoughtful aspect to the album as it attempts to simply thrash out at times.

In terms of flaws, in comparison to Celtic Frost, there is a somewhat more interesting vibe to that band at times, despite this being quite innovative stuff.  There is a really harsh aspect that is combined with a more futuristic one to make for an outstanding technical experience.  Though it is not the most original thrash album ever, it is very innovative and makes use of a very unique sound.

On the whole this is a compelling and interesting album that is one of the better ones the band has produced and entirely one of the best thrash albums of the season.  People looking for something completely fresh will be disappointed, but those looking for an album that has a very distinctive vibe to it will find a lot to like here.

Rating: 7.6/10
