Not what should’ve been Terrorizer/ex-Napalm Death guitarist Jesse Pintado’s last work. A pillar of excellent throughout his career, he deserved a better end.
The band’s second effort in less than two years. The guitar sound is grander, the hooks more deadly, and the melodies more developed and instantly ear-catching.
