    Here's a band we've been hearing good things about for years. Hailing from the North Pole (no joke!), these guys deliver a heavy-handed message about taking Christ and His rightful place as Lord seriously. They do this with a serious metallic "hardcore meets grindcore" approach. Kind of like standing in between the two encore tents at Cornerstone with Mortification playing on one stage and The Crucified on the other. The hype was right on these guys. They shred!

    Other coverage for this album

    The Phantom Tollbooth 1997Reviewed by Josh SpencerNo one would ever guess these guys hold a grudge against religious authority, would they? Sheesh. If the band name and album title don't get the message across, the morbid cover painting will, with its depiction of the corpses of such figures strung up within large jaws bordered by monitors, lights, organs, and people-filled pews. It might be easy for some to dismiss the whole project as typical…
