Good to read an accurate review of this great Hirax album.
Of the many old metal bands from the 80s who have reformed, not many manage to record albums that live up to their 80s heydays, but Hirax are an exception [as are Agent Steel & Helstar]. This album has it all….great songs, great & heavy production, strong musicianship, just one of the best thrash metal albums of the modern era.

Not too often an old thrash band can rumble back to life and make it worth our while but Hirax manages the trick nicely here. Put this up with Exodus and Whiplash for keeping the flame burning and not doing a half-assed job either!

A thing of beauty, this record. Just when I thought no oldschool thrash band could recapture their truly glorious early sound, along comes this powerhouse to prove me wrong. Fuckin’ A!

The Big Four can suck it. These thrash metal fossils still have soul in ’em. Hail Hirax!
