While most bands in the 80s were focussing on extremities in their music, in terms of speed (Slayer) and heaviness, Gargoyle here from Japan goes into extreme in another form: the craziness in their music and the inclusion of all sorts of influences. Looking at the whole host of musicians present on the recording of this album (ranging from violins to saxophones to crazy guitar), one knows that this will be a crazy ride, yet not know what exactly to expect.
The first track, Destroy, opens with a weird start-stop riff before breaking into a more "normal" tempo, a signal to listeners to know what to expect in the coming 45 minutes of the song. Kiba makes his first entry in the music ("DESTROY!!!") after the opening riffs, and his vocals is unlike the other practitioners of thrash metal of the time, sounding like a heavy metal vocalist intentionally trying to sing in a gruff manner, and could be a hit-or-miss affair for listeners who are not used to the whole variety of vocals that the Japanese are able to bring about. It is on this track where Gargoyle first displays their "innovation" in the music, with the inclusion of a tasteful lead violin solo in the midst of the adrenaline pumping guitar solo. If you missed this, fret not as such moments are littered throughout the entire album, so there are plenty of chances to get your dose of wackiness from Gargoyle. Often, the violin solo, along with the guitars, play notes reminding the listener of theme songs of animes that come ... See More

크로스오버 뉴스쿨 스래쉬가 일본의 독특한 괴감성과 어우러져 태어난 음악으로 방정맞다고 느껴질정도로 독특한 리듬과 뜬금 튀어나오는 여성 보이스가 특징적입니다. 중간중간 터지는 She-ja의 멜로딕한 기타가 없었다면 더 낮은 점수였겠습니다. 커버는 禊 라는 한자인데, 일어로 앨범타이틀 '미소기'라고 읽으며, 이는 '죄와 과오를 씻어내는것'을 의미합니다.
