A continuous construction of riffs, drawing heavily from the best school of the years I have already pointed out. The last track of the collection is anthological; it feels like being in those smoky Texan inns just a stone’s throw from the Mexican border.

The work stands out for its caustic, deep, guttural sound. Sabbath-like with proto-industrial remnants. They just want to cause harm and create havoc; starting from the slums where the album was born.

No 'rival' band from those years has been able to erect that oppressive jet-black canopy, that sense of inhuman destructive power. An epic and tormented sound that relies on downtuned and hyper-distorted guitars, a blistering double bass drum, a compact and present bass, and a voice laden with dark and rasping tones.
