Violence Has Arrived (Metal Blade)
by Vinnie Apicella
Violence Has Arrived finds the Antarctic mutants in their usual foul mood, and if the cover is any indication, blood is only the beginning. No longer consumed by their own drool, they sport ferocious looks, and it reflects in the playing. Tunes like “Battle Lust,” “Anti-Anti-Christ,” and “Beauteous Rot” take on more significance than your usual carnivorous carnival games – think the mighty riffs of “Rotten to the Core”-era Overkill.
