By Paul Hanson

It took mere moments for me to dig this CD. And yes, I know it's been out for a while. First of all, though, I don't like the lyrical contents. Mutilation and murder are not my favorite themes, but in this case, I can't help but like the slower styled death metal. I don't think vocalist Chris Barnes is the best death metal vocalist, but he's not the worst. "Victim of the Paranoid" stands out as being my favorite track. My copy came with two bonus tracks, a cover of Iron Maiden's "Wrathchild" and Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak." If you can get a copy of this CD with those two songs, do.
