This is why you always preview albums you buy with downloads eh? I hope you did so from then on. But the signs were evident in Elements of Anger of what was to come.
... I listen a lot to it these days. Actually its surprising to find flash thrash in era when even Death Metal already started to wane. It has a lot of DM elements on the other hand. Atrocity (circa Todessehensucht) were certainly an influence. One of the best from 90's for sure.
Isn't the atmosphere of resignation and hopelessness so strange to see done in a thrash style? Words without meaning... it doesn't matter anyway... no one will believe a thing... much about nothing... stagnation of emotions... no cause for celebration. I find it to be an extremely potent record. Even when they do the dreaded Panteraish groove metal chugga chugga they make it tasteful. And when the guitarists flash, they dazzle.

Solos are really surprising and use of viola too. Haven't expected that much from this record in a dreams.
