Recorded live at the Trocadero in San Francisco, Exodus returns from the depths of hell (or at least the bargain bin) fronted by original madman Paul Baloff.
You can fuck to it, drink to it, declare a point of grave creation, sit in exile under fist over lecture, or stare at a dark wall with a gun in your underwear.

The only drawback of the second release by this Hypocrisy side project is there are no dynamics, rather one go-for-the-throat pace established and maintained.
