Demiricous has done the almost classical 'rebellion' against any musical or style trend and returned to their thrash roots. This is, as usual, seen as a totally unique step, especially in the home of commercialism - America. But it does not sound that revolutionary on the European market after all. It is good thrash though. Fast riffing, furious tempo and screaming vocals - it's all there, from the start with Repentagram and forward. But the variation is minimal.

Already on the second track Withdrawal Divine, I have a hard time to remain my focus. For me - one that is not totally true to the old thrash scene - there is something missing. The finish is absolutely the point of perfection though. I Am Weapon warms up with brutal riffing and Hellraisers is a rough crusher. Everything is taken to its edge in a final focus of energy. But that does not help the fact that in the end this is an average thrash record.
