I really liked their previous releases, especially Submission for Liberty. Practically a whole new line up on this release. I like what I hear so far, but vocally it seems conservative. Has a Metallica feel to it IMO. Give it a listen.

I heard a few songs and it was competent but pretty forgettable and generic thrash. Little too modern sounding for me with my taste in thrash but they did have a few solid riffs and leads.
