'Backstabber' has the kind of opening riff that helped invent stage diving back in the 80's. 'Fake And A Fraud' is Nuclear Assault with pinch harmonics and Kam Lee singing, as is the title track. 'Fading Survival' takes the pace down nicely with some real brooding, chugging riffing and closer 'Personal Demons' is like Cannibal Corpse doing Pantera covers with Slayer's gear.
A really cool little five-tracker that would be the ideal soundtrack to driving to somewhere very fucking fast.
They've got a full lengther due out pretty soon so keep an eye out because it will probably take your eye out.
