The Review:

"The ex-Megadeth guitarist's debut album in a completely new version. Remixed and including 2 brand new songs performed by Chris new band. A must have for all fans of shred." - Lion Music

Excellent remastering of this debut of Chris Poland. Musically it's unlike any metal that is out there. Yes it has a Megadeth sound to it but hey Chris was the primary force in the band outside of dave Mustaine. I think the music can be called jazzy speed-metal for those who need a genre.

For others, like myself, just think of it's as a heavy assault on the senses, a wall of chugga-chugga crunchy guitars counter balanced by some tasty bass playing and drumming.
