I've looked forward to this album ever since I heard Illdåd's 7", Nemo Saltat Sobrius, and Rodrigo (the label man) told me there was a fullength in the works. If you're looking for intense, raging and pissed off crust then this is definitely right up your alley. Whatever I might have said about a crust record before, this is by far some of the most intense stuff I've heard.
The drums are so fucking brutal. It's almost like hearing it live, that's how intense this is. And the subtle guitar solos every now and then on top of the wicked riffs is just amazing. Combine this with ripping and brutal-as-hell vocals, some pissed off and destructive lyrics, and you get an aura of anger and... and... I just can't explain it properly... Have you ever been to a demonstration, chanting political slogans together with hundreds of comrades, sharing the hatred towards, and the fight against, capitalism and imperialism? Well, maybe you haven't. But if you have then you know what I'm talking about when I say there's a certain feeling that fills you up inside, at that exact moment... It's like taking all that intensity, feeling and anger, and then jam it into an LP. That's how fucking intense and great this album is. Raging and fucking pissed off vocals, highly political and equally as pissed off lyrics is what you get. The lyric sheet folds up to create a poster, which is by far the best-looking album poster I've ever seen - Amazing painting! This will satisfy any fan of Skitsystem, Victims, M:Pati etc.
