Mat Maurer's vocals are a weapon, the riffs are relentless, and the production has exactly the right amount of grit for a record made in 1989. If you're building a serious metal collection or just want to know what was happening in Australian heavy music before most people were paying attention, this is the document.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD.
