"I agree fully! Ripping Corpse were 1 of THE best Death Metal bands on the scene at the time, making a brand of Death Metal WAY ahead of it's time by cleverly fusing top notch death metal with a slight hardcore vibe and some speeds that are way off the scale!! Brandon being one of the best drummers I've ever heard, up there with Pete Sandoval of Morbid Angel easily!!! And of corse Erik Rutan's guitar work does the business, infact, the whole band were very good! I bought this album in a second hand shop out of curiosity years ago and HELL what a find it turned out to be!!



If you like Death Metal BUY IT!! And check out Dim Mak while your there, 1st class (overlooked) stuff!"

Dreaming with the Dead indeed

"the exchanging leads between Erik Rutan and Shaune Kelley are f'n insane and extreme. Ripping Corpse are an excellent cross between thrash and death metal. If you're a fan of thrash and/or death metal, buy this album right this instant!!!"

Dated, but still great listening

"This band fused thrash metal, hardcore, and early death metal with interesting riffs and solos, time-changes galore, and thought-provoking lyrics. The material is performed with a lot of enthusiasm, and the band doesn't stick to conventional song structures.



If you like early, old-school American death metal, this will be right up your alley. I consider this album one of the "lost classics" of the death metal genre."
