Death, Doom and Destruction

Cianide is one of those rare bands that doesn't seem to ever do anything wrong. They never write the same album twice, yet somehow they don't stray too far from their roots. Of course, when those roots could be described as "a more Death Metal version of Hellhammer", well, how can you go wrong?

This album is right up there with The Dying Truth for me in terms of how great it is. I personally think it's easily better than 'A Descent Into Hell' because the song writing just seems much more focused this time around. There are some amazing doom/death songs on here!

'Envy and Hatred' might be the best Cianide track ever written. It is beyond the realm of HEAVY and it's also very memorable. I find myself replaying this track again after the CD ends.

I love the simplicity of Cianide and how they always stuck to that, when everyone else is trying to out blast each other or see who can play the fastest solos with the most meaningless notes. Cianide does what they do best here - 100% DEATH METAL.

I'm lucky enough to have both the original and the Razorback reissue, and I think the new version benefits from a better and LOUDER mix without making it ever seem too polished or anything like that. Also, the new artwork and booklet makes it a far superior looking product as well.

Like death metal? GET THIS.
