    Here's a thrash feast on compact disc that includes plenty of high speed playing and black and white, no compromise lyrics. Guitarist Thomas Stahl, bassist Roman Rothen, and drummer Markus Hauth lay down a pretty tight foundation, upon which vocalist Edgar Bich adds his predictable shouting/growling vocals. The snare sound on this album is very unique. It sounds very thick, as if the drum heads were leather rawhide. Stahl's leads leave a tiny bit to be desired, yet he still wails and goes after it. His rhythms are definitely up to snuff. I don't know what else to say, except that "those who like thrash will dig this disc." Then you can hear the horsewhip speed as the band flails, lambastes, whumps, beats, batters, pounds, pommels, punches, thwacks, slaps, smacks, crushes, and wails.
