Thrash proves to be alive and well in the UK with this second full-length effort from Norwich natives Shrapnel. After a debut courtesy of Candlelight, the group jump on Spinefarm for this sophomore release. The band's high-energy, riff frenzy can be a wall of sound, but ebbs and flows with a softer touch of melody and a slight progressive nod in places. The tracks are a showcase of solos amidst a love for seasoned acts like Kreator and Exodus. With acts like Game Over, Havok and Shrapnel, thrash is very much alive and well.
