Notable Quotes

❝ In short, the CD sounds very good, flows very quickly, and although it doesn't bring anything new, it is undoubtedly an excellent record.

❝ Derozer does punk rock as God commands, with simple and effective riffs, the desire to cause a ruckus and without that annoying communist-social center rhetoric that characterizes a good number of similar groups.
