Second tier thrash sounding like Megadeth at their most mundane. The songs on this 1989 LP are unmemorable. Sure this is fast, heavy, great guitar work, even a slight Bay Area feel in some of the hooks, but I enjoy Kublai Khan a million times more than this. Mark Strassburg's vocals are kind of rough , sort of like Sacred Reich. The only track I thought was really good was "Senseless Theories", and even that is unmemorable.

Side 1-Tortured By Fire/Living In Filth/Terminal Choice
Side 2-Senseless Theories/Sam The Butcher/Instant Insanity
