"Let me start by saying that everything about this record rules. The Hieronymus Bosch painting on cover is a fairly accurate picture of what you will get inside. The music is raw and hard with a lot of Dark Ages/Biblical lyrical references to sin and evil. The music puts you right into that Bosch painting with its agony and suffering. Musically, this is the best Integrity record. Those Who Fear Tomorrow in its time (1991) was fairly unique in how hard it was. This record remains timeless and feels like it could have been made in 2004. Most modern hardcore and metal or whatever people call it today is wimpy and puny by comparison. At the same time the music is not so hard as to be incoherent or cacophenous. If you are a floorpuncher, there is almost no better album out there for floorpunching. Floorpunching Favorites:
Track 02! (the best floorpuncher ever written)
Track 10
Track 12"

"If you think these guys are unoriginal (see review below) you must have just been getting into hardcore last year. These guys were out in the late 1980's making this unbelievable music and it influenced every single hardcore band after them."
So, let me get this straight...

"This was recorded in 1991?? No sh*t!
I've been listening to Those Who Fear Tomorrow for a good few years now and I still can't get over the fact that this incredible hardcore recording is nearing 15 years of age. This is what many would call "timeless". No matter how many years down the road, this will continue to sound good; truly essential hardcore right here. If you dig the early Cro-Mags sound, this is right up your alley. So, if you're looking to hear one of hardcore's most influential bands, buy this album, memorize it, and hope for Integrity to play a reunion show near you."
I love this band

"integrity is one the most influential hardcore band that has never released a alblum. I myself think that Dwid's vocals are one of the best in the scene. his intencity for the music shows at his preformances, and in the cd's themselves show you."
