Anybody familiar with this very underrated band?

Poseur repellant, is what it is.

Not familiar, but listening to their MySpace (the sellouts!) now and I want to get more familiar, sounds very good indeed.

Been a fan of them for three years or so now, I saw them live when they came to Havasu and drove out the pseudo-Punks. They are a great band and are incredibly knowledgeable, when it comes to the music they perform.

Apparently nobody else here has heard them... I agree, of course, that they are a great band. For a modern band, they manage to capture and convey the feel and energy of the old days really well.

Anybody else that is interested in old school, no bullshit thrash/black metal done right should check them out.

Yeah, I checked them out. Not really my style, but it was well done.

I've known them for a while. Solid band. Their last year debut was pretty good.

Good old-school thrash with blackened vocals. Way more convincing than the bands so many kids rave about these days.
Thanks for the heads up, Val!

when the riffing is good and the rhythm section's tight as it should be for this kind of thrash, I'd say lead guitars are far from mandatory. That said, I concur that they're the weak spot on the album.

I like good solos in my thrash!! :mad:

But I agree about the rhythm section. Unstoppable force of headbanging goodness. I'm gonna put some Agent Steel now in my player :dio:

Check out Totalitarian State of War.
It's a good sampling of their career (compilation) prior to Terrorstorm.
