The blast beats don't disappear but they make room for groove, atmosphere, and Barney Greenway's vocals sitting over riffs that could comfortably share a bill with Godflesh or Morbid Angel on the same night. Earache at its peak, a label and a band both operating at a moment when extreme music in the UK had genuine momentum behind it. The alternative and metal underground owes this album more than it usually admits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull length CD, original 1994 UK pressing.
