Quote:
This highly respected band began as one of the many power metal acts which the US music scene was producing in heaps in the mid 80's. With "Know Your Enemy" the band made their claims to become one of the new thrash heroes although the sound on this one is still pretty much power metal, with a few thrash headbangers thrown in for good measure. "Last Breath" is a truly impressive opener: a great power/thrasher, which remains the finest song on this one. Later on the band exercise their abilities in playing speed metal, and do a fine job, until the last couple of tracks, where the sound is a direct take on their heavy/power metal beginnings, and leaves a certain aftertaste.
However, on the next one power metal was a distant memory, and "Annihilation Principle" still remains one of the finest achievements of the genre. "Fire In The Hole" thrashes uncompromisingly from the very beginning, leaving no room for any melodic deviations. "Chain Of Fools" is a mighty riff-fest, followed by the great galloping speed/thrasher "Shadow Company". "Holiday In Cambodia" is a marvellous cover of Dead Kennedys, and will definitely help you develop a liking towards the original, although there's hardly any shade of punk here. Later on every track is a masterpiece of razor sharp thrash, with marvellous guitar work: a headbanging feast at its finest. "The Omen" is a very well deserved break for the band from the intense thrashing: a nice ballad, with a very good vocal performance (Michael Coons is one of the greatest singers on the whole metal field).
Things continued in the same vein on "Nothing'$ $acred": another smashing thrashterpiece, showing no signs of slowing down or compromises with the thrashy sound. The album begins with intense up-tempo thrashing numbers, until it reaches the raging "Curiosity Kills"- a speed/thrash delight, but remains one of its kind on this effort. The next tracks take a slower, but quite hard-hitting turn, led by the excellent "The Enemy Within", laced with some fine technical hooks. "Nobody's Child" is the obligatory ballad (the guys include such songs in each of their works), this time shorter, but equally as cool. "Silence Is A Lie" tries to thrash in a faster manner once again, and admirably succeeds, giving way to the graceful closer: the marvellous instrumental "Necropolis", which boasts a magnificent lead guitar performance, which might make you listen to the preceding material again, just to check whether you will find traces of such guitar wizardry earlier (but no, and this is the mystery- why did the guy spared himself on most of the songs, but unleashing all his genius on just a single piece?!), and superb technical riffs.
Then the band split up, with some members later giving way to their infatuation with the 90's groovy sound, with their other band Gack, which has almost nothing to do music-wise with the band's past.
