Not a trendy album

"Apparently this band is not dead yet. This album was recorded in 1988 and that is why somebody should think that this is thrash but certainly it is not the case. This is a swiss band who played not an ordinary form of metal. Thrash may be an influence for their sound but hardcore may be it too, they used at least in this album rhythm machines, shyntesizers, heavy guitars and vocals in the middle of the road from death to clean, but be careful, i think a die hard death metal fan should not like this stuff so it is not for everybody. As i said their style is not conventional therefore it is a little complicated to explain. They do not sound completely industrial even though they play those instruments. They use lyrics with apocalyptic issues, this is kind of an odd band but not totally in the experimental side of metal and however you can feel something familiar. If you just buy cd's for an specific style then this may not be for you, but if you like/enjoy trying different things maybe you should get this. I really do not think this is a bad album and they deserve a listen."
