This is my favourite and in most minds, the best Bolt Thrower disc out there. The pinnacle performance of their lives, man. We are talking very heavy folks. They latched on to this menacing creeping grind on their previous disc War Master and just went to it's natural progression. Their music conjures of images of a warmachine decimating all in its path. Total conquest by an unstoppable, unrelenting force. Their grind was actually the first type of war metal. The crushing sound of the music is due the totally over the top double bass drumming. The speed of the riffage also varies for the right atmosphere but all this was topped off with the mega-cool vocals of Karl Willetts. Other death metal vocalists should only wish to be compared to the man cause his voice is all in terms of this genre. Great stuff!!! A totally hurtful CD of pure punishment, get it and prepare for the beating.
