Nuxodus sux. Fuck Rob Dukes that stupid fat racist bitch.

The new Forbidden is pretty good, but the new Death Angel hands it its ass.

Lackluster Distortion and horrible Green? Your ears are broken, sir.

Agreed! But you forgot to mention Exodus in there too. I much prefer their newer material, and think Exhibit B is the best one yet. Death Angel also got a good one in there this year too.

Heathen, Overkill and now Forbidden have come up with some beyootiful thrashy gems. Some of the best material of their careers. \m/

good writeup Larry. You called out everything I was thinking while listening to this though, especially Russ’ vocals. wish there were more songs like Forsaken at the Gates and less midtempo stuff but this was a really solid return to form.

I saw Forbidden many times in the Twisted into form days, living in San Jose. This album takes off from Twisted but adds many new elements. As the Teeth mention above , solo are insane from both Smyth and Lecicero. russ’s vocals are very creative and go beyond what he has done in the past.

I can not stop listening to this record. I have not had to listen to a record everyday since… well I can’t remember. Songs are great. There are many layers. They get deep, heavy, they expand and go into new territory but still stay where the ideas make sense and flow cohesively. I am a musician and all I got to say is that they are great songs and have all the ear candy a metalhead would ever want. The drumming is seriously spectacluar (I am a drummer). I think it goes beyond what Bostaph would be doing these days. The more I listen to it the more catch even more detail. I heard an interview with Craig. He said this is the record they actually could get all the sounds, visions and concepts right because they had the support they needed.

This album fucking kicks ass! In my opinoin the more you listen the more it will take hold.
