Promises unreleased and ancient goodies, but merely repackages available material. The European version has the first two demos and a fuckload of bonus songs.
Raised on and characterized by Germans like Helloween and the Swedish offspring of Malmsteen, the band produce another multi-faceted model of consistency.

The compressed “future metal” of Fear Factory mixed with the more singable parts of Strapping Young Lad (more accurately, Devin’s solo stuff). Pretty cool.
Prong’s first studio album since ’96’s underrated Rude Awakening. Punishing grooves laced with industrial triggers, meaty guitars, Tommy Victor’s dark melodies.

A gorgeous combination of Swedish thrash, Finnish drear/thrash/doom and all the things that made Metallica great, sorta in a space between Master and Justice.
