Warning this is not the gore grind band Gut from Germany. This is a different band.
They are from Boston, and they play a completely different style of metal than the afformentiond Gut.
Not that this is bad. Just want to make sure that people know what band I am reviewing.
This is more traditional thrash metal like from the late 80′s and early 90′s. The music is not bad but it has a definite garage band sound. It is fairly simple metal with a few different styles.
There are not alot of tempo changes. No grinding here. This is more of what you would expect to see at the local metal bar when no national act is in town.
The riffs are good, the drums sound like drums but the vocals leave something to be desired. Also being that it is a demo, it is very short. It features 5 songs for a total of about 18 minutes of music.

I remember back when I was a youth and was into Ratt, Motley Crue, Ozzy and the likes! (yes I admit it)
A friend of mine had a Slayer album (Show No Mercy, on vinyl even) and we used to listen to it for jokes, as neither of us liked it much.
It was just noise, no melody at all. 
Then as the years went by, I found myself interested in harder and heavier metal. First it was Metallica, Anthrax and then came Slayer. It was the Hell Awaits release that converted me. So in a way, Slayer can be credited with igniting my passion for the dark side of metal.
I can still remember the day I heard that intro to the album with that great marching riff, at first that was the only part I liked. Then as more time went by I found myself hooked on the whole album. Especially the song “Hardening of the Arteries”
Thus beginning my love affair with Death Metal!
The godfathers of metal are back with a brand new CD for our musical enjoyment. This time they even got original drummer Dave Lombardo back!
