So fast, brutal and yet groovy we havent ever sounded, probably! Also the guest musicians are very special this time: with Gerre (Tankard) and Tom Angelripper (Sodom) our old friends and companions are with us, the original Mad Butcher/Release from Agony” - line up is doing one song and with Ol Drake (EVILE) we got the hottest young thrash guitarist for a few solos on the album youtube/watch?v=aoEH72G7GzI
