Brutal grindcore with few frills. Twisted lyrics, demon roars, mean guitars… the whole package. Their cover of Twisted Sister’s “Captain Howdy” is wild.
They crush with guitar power, sing so passionately, break down in freaky jazz stylings, and write the catchiest of rock/metal songs without ever bordering on pop crap.
While the main riff of “Hostage to Heaven” is very Slayer-oriented, it’s the perfect excuse for Dave Lombardo to unleash the speedcore beast that lies within.
From the first, anthemic notes of “Outside Looking In” to the drum work on “Monument,” the disc has plenty of audio tidbits for the avid music dissector.
