Come on all you posers! These guys are great!Old school thrash the way it was made to be done. I saw them in concert in Phoenix and the pit was killer. I agree its nothing new, but it beats the hell out of Metallica, whoes the biggest sell out since Judas sold out christ!

KICK ASS! and what does make them special from other bands “imitating their forefathers” nothing realy its just good to see bands still can be true and say fuck off to the labels and do it the right way rather then bending over and taking it in the ass as allmost every american band do. HAIL HATCHET /../

picked up the album (which totally rocks) after seeing them live (which totally rocked!). their sound is solid thrash from 20 years ago and they do it well. can’t wait to see how they develop musically.

I finally got around to listening to this after picking it up just from Ian Robinson’s review. It’s nothing I haven’t heard before, and I did not care for the vocals at all. I agree almost completely with Vince on this.

I don’t care for this band. Most of the bands here in the Bay Area, which is all thrash metal, are all about style over substance. Maybe because they’re so young. I’m a little suprised that they ever got signed. They have nothing live.

As for “bringing back thrash”, there are some choice bands that are putting a spin on it, but I doubt it will be a big thing.

It is one thing to borrow from thrash’s style and attitude. But this band is so derivative that I feel I can place every riff they use in my CD collection. For example, Sealed Fate has a riff from Rest in Pain from Sepultura’s Schizophrenia, maybe a Reign in Blood riff or two, a Sadus riff, an old Testament lick…

I guess why should I buy this album when I already bought all these riffs as played by the original bands years ago.

I really enjoyed it, myself. Yeah, so it’s a re-hash – what isn’t these days? Just gotta roll with those postmodern punches.

And at least they put some spark into it, unlike Kataklysm. Guess it’s a case of different strokes for different folks, though. *shrugs*

Competently generic, perhaps?
