A must for Overkill fans.

Review Score: (10/10)
After the chord ripping power of "Under",I was expecting this release too be the same.Unfortunatly,it was not.But this is not a bad thing by any means.The songs are definitely more thought out and arranged. Though a tad slower than their previous album, this brings out the lyrics to an almost bard/story teller feel.This apparent with"Spiders/Skullcrusher","Who tends the fire",and "The years of decay".Yet they still manage to hold on too who they are with others such as "Elimination","Time to kill",and "E.N.D".If you are looking for that speed and power you've grown too love from these guys, you won't get it here. But you will get an ablum that will infect you and make you go back to it again and again.Clearly a no-brainer for fans.
