    Thrash punk fans arise! Here is a band from Salem, Oregon, to sink your teeth into. But this band is more than just speed, Empty Tomb has a good sense of melody. Check out "I Agree With You" for an example. My favorite tune was "Things Are Gonna Get Harry." A fast tune that slows in the middle to get down right funky!

    "WELCOME TO THE HUMAN RACE" is a very nicely packaged tape with a very above average production.

    While I myself prefer more of a metal bite to my thrash, I would highly recommend this band to anyone looking for a place to start in the punk realm.
