Description
One of the most violent thrash metal albums ever! Raging riffs, outraging drums, screaming solos and totally pissed vocals. Total aggression!
Death metal wouldn't sound like it does without that album.
Then the 10 tracks on this legendary album...
Let's start with Side A: The opener "Malleus Maleficarum/Anthropomorphia" sets the tone and remains a classic to this day, with a switch after
50 seconds and then a full on thrash attack only comparable to the best and most intense moments on "Pleasure to Kill". The mid-tempo part
and the solo's/leads are haunting still and hint at more melodies to come in the future. "Parricide" is brutal Thrash, surely echoing a bit of
Slayer/Infernal Majesty as well, but just very intense and brutal. Next up is "Subordinate to the Domination", another bulldozer song, that
simply pounds you into ashes, very thrashy, but also brutal. As a short intermezzo we get "Extreme Unction", which with it's one and a half
minute echoes a bit the crossover/thrash metal attitude of the late 80's, and it is in its intensity and compactness a strange, yet fitting track that
leads us to the closing song on Side A of the LP (yep, bands did think on closers on album sides when vinyl was the standard)... "Commandments" that is, starting with its acoustic intro, fully bursting out after 35 seconds into one of the standout songs of this album, to some possibly
the best song on the album (who am I to disagree) because it is one of those brutal thrash songs that is among the best ever recorded, and a
song that everyone knew back then, because of the "Stars on Thrash" compilation.
