Listen up kids, if ultra-fast hardcore thrash is your bag, then run, don't
walk, to your local cd shoppe and throw down the bucks for this baby. If,
perchance, that isn't your idea of a rocking Friday night, you'd better leave
this hunk of burnin' binary alone. Not counting a 10 minute live set tacked on
the end, Benumb manage to cram 34 songs into just over that many minutes to
perform aural surgery without any anaesthetic. Track 8 is a 9 minute
sludgefest, but everything else is just one-two-three-four blastbeat city, which
is little more than I can handle on your average day. No lyrics but honorable
mentions go out to about a thousand bands on the thank you list, brings me back a few
years I must say. All in all, if you miss old Heresy, Lärm or Scum era
Napalm Death, this and Nasum are for you. As for
me, I'm afraid I'll have to check this war machine at the door.
