Fourth album from American thrash metallers Anger As Art, with members hailing from semi-known veteran bands. After the recordings in early spring 2012 bassplayer Henry De La Cruz has joined the ranks and from what I know main man Steve Gaines handles the bass on this release.

This record sounds and breathes old school metal and why shouldn't it, when released on this specific label? Some songs have their charm, but with this type of dated and non diverse music, in the end it's actually not that satisfying. They rely on speed and even if a couple of parts are good, I still, after listening to this album for about fifteen times, have a hard time to recall the songs and separate them from each other.

The production is kind of low budget and is created to have an older vibe, yet with a modern touch. I know there are fans out there who find good shit in this old school metal, but to most metal fans this release will merely confirm the band's position as underground.
