This is GIGANTIC! You can hear hints of a lot of bands in this. Melvins, Mutoid Man, Godflesh, Helmet. But yet, they're not "ripping off" any of those bands. This is wholly original.
It is very rare that a band trying to capture the spirit and feel of the first wave of NWOBHM can actually pull it off. This is that rare instance. Production/somgwriting/execution are done perfectly for this style. For me, this album takes me back to my ever malleable youth of the late 70's early 80's and listening to bands like Angel Witch, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest and feeling like I belonged to a very select and special club. It's crazy to think this came out in 2021.
