Recorded at Silvercloud Studios

Tracks: 1- Eternal Damnation, 2- Meltdown, 3- Left To Die, 4- Mary Celeste

It has been a lot of time since I listened an album with this thrash/speed metal feeling. And I think that this is really positive, because this was a style that was really missed by me because I was a big fan of this style of bands in the eighties. The music here has great riffs and a good drummer who knows how to accentuate the changes and passages from one riff to the other. There are interesting guitar solos from great guitar players Notch Vara and John Rodriguez. The vocals reminded me of the guy that used to think in that great band called Toxik and also it has some inflexions that wouldn´t have been out of place on the first Anthrax album "Fistful of Metal". It is great to know this band because I would like to listen more from them and I know that this guys can give this kind of metal style the place that it deserves. Favorite tracks: "Eternal Damnation", "Left To Die" and "Mary Celeste". Contact: www.byfist.com
