blistering grind album, just as important as the band's contemporaries at the time (Napalm Death, Carcass, Terrorizer, Repulsion, etc.)

Agree that this is an awesome and important album, but frankly I can't see this album as grind at all. Grindcore formula revolves around explosive blast-beat insertions, crusty riffs with d-beats, etc, while this album works entirely differently. It already contains all the ingredients of the later Bolt Thrower brand of death metal, especially in the riff department. The riffs are fucking thunderous and already sound like artillery cannonades, like a fucking war. No way any grindcore album ever could sound like that, with all due respect. At its core BT are already here on this album - they sound exactly like you expect from them. It's just more streamlined, less complex and more punkish than, say, 'War Master'.

Definitely more of a Grindcore/Crust/Deathgrind album than a Death Metal one, so some fans aren't too fond of it. A shame, because it's a terrific album in that style. Very raw, harsh and much faster in general than what we normally expect from Bolt Thrower, but they were very adept at this style as well.

I regret not listening to this album before. Some of my "truer" death metal friends always referred to this album as "sloppy, punkish and average". Fuck 'em, this is not Realm of Chaos or the IV Crusade but kicks ass in a different way.

i knew that people who still listen to this album 'd be considering this as their best...c'mon this album is a an eruption of youth. nothin more, nothin less. the ongoing road of bolt thrower is/was brilliant. always sympathically behaving to the fans and true to themselves. this record is the foundation!!!

A great album, but for me as a fan of classic old school death metal their next albums are better.

This album is like the missing link between punk and death metal. It's both, neither, and something altogether more.
