i fell in love with this band the first few seconds i first heard their songs. this isn't your typical d-beat punk band, but don't lure your mind to the overly hyped 'epic crust' sound. some say this is the combination of thrash metal and punk but for me, what they've created isn't just a 'crossover'. yes, the pummeling sound of d-beat and thrash metal riffs may have created this audio 'cacophony', but with some rocking parts a-la motorhead and some parts i would rather describe as typical punk/hardcore riffs, this band surely make it ahead of my list. if you wanted thrash metal to be dirty and raw, this is the answer. i recomended the 'fire and destruction' album, but the others are as good as the one mentioned. they're on CAH records.
