"I Won't Live The Lie "
(Crash Music) 

I won't live the lie, will you? Neither will they. But they'll bitch about it more than you can possibly imagine on this ripping new release wrought with technically trained aggression. In the finest Skolnick speed killing tradition, they churn through fourteen bruising, low slung cuts pasting old school Hard-Core with Swedish savagery to make for something completely noggin knocking. "Inner Peace" for starters offers none and goes through this minute long shred that leaves you floored by the last minute's play out which by this point doesn't matter-simply rips. With meaty Prong-like chunks of heavy shred, bone dry tears it right to the enamel with a slower, heavier, downright nastier cut built around blood, blessings and fucking. "Crucified," serves up no secrets here, letting loose a double-bass fill and quake like reverb that carries a spiritual bloodletting with it in a lyrically profound belief crushing sentiment. File away your happy thoughts for an hour and let it all loose in this lifetime's worth of chaos, concern, and consternation that erases all doubt that our sole purpose in life is for anything but to suffer!
