Not as he-man thrash as Alien or SYL, more of a rule-breaker, which is what made City such a proud (and arguably unlistenable) creative moment in the extreme.
For whatever reason, the band’s brand of classic power-trio heavy rock seems to spring into a further dimension when the three members step onto a stage.
Still around after 20+ years. Despite having never been a major player in the thrash/death scene, the band have persevered without losing an ounce of potency.
While I applaud their attempts at becoming “more serious” by tackling concept albums, almost every product from such thinking has resulted in absolute garbage.
Catchy, brutal, technical, well-recorded, and gore-a-riffic as anything the band have ever done, which means there are going to be a lot of happy longhairs.
