Wow, I skipped this record when it was released but as I now am on my fourth listening I regret it, this rules! The songs here are for most part short and sweet and for a 2019 album it's actually feels fresh. The band has a new found energy, every song has something great about it, they are fast, furious and has a strong focus on hooks. Is it a bit repetitive? You bet, but in some way I think it's one of it's strenghts. It's a 50 minute record that flies by when listening to it.

There's two covers here. Symptom of the Universe is pretty damn good, it's chaotic and aggressive in a fun way and Rob Rock does a awesome job. The Andrew Webb Lloyd on the other hand could have been left out from the original tracklist, it breaks the flow and could instead have been used as a bonus track at the end.

Not only is this their best album since Screaming Symphony/ Answer to the Master but it's also one of the best heavy metal records in recent years.

The thrill of your life, is it not enough for you? Sell me your soul I'll see what I can do.
