Very ugly, yet technical thrash metal cd with overdriven guitar. That makes this really interesting, as the weird "crust like sound that isn't crust" makes it sound experimental, along side the prog elements, Trippy melodies, Heavy Riffs, Time/Tempo Changes and fast playing... It's really weird but cool sounding...
The opening songs mix in black metal, thrash metal, a bit of US power and prog metal and a tiny bit of oriental flare... It gets more pronounced in terms of prog elements as you go through the cd... Songs then start to sound really technical by track 4. By track 5 it starts to get lighter, more melodic, more proggy and it starts to blend in Jazz riffs, More Oriental vibes and at the end it starts to get heavy again.... It's a really good cd.
The vocals are really good. They mix in 80's James hetfield, Tom Araya, Some Johnny Rotten and Lemmy, and have a really good sounding vocal style For Thrash metal. The rasp is beyond 80's hetfield at many times, and the power is on par with 90's Araya Easily. Later on I would get more Raspy and Even MORE powerful, but less melodic. But Here I am quite melodic at times...
The lyrics delve into Political Issues such as Anti Video Game Censorship, Indoctrination being Cruel, Frivolous Lawsuits being bad, Copyright maximalism being bad and similar....
One of the heaviest thrash metal cd's ever... The later ones however, Blow it out of the water in Heaviness...
