Only a small amount of words can explain what this cd contains. It is definetly one of the best albums I have ever heard. Each song is powerful and explosive, yet there are those occasional breaks for some beautiful synth moments. Speaking of the synthisizer, it's sound fits in perfectly with the heaviness of the songs. These songs put off the vibe that they're really pissed off, but also having a great time as well. That's just cool.

From the first time I heard Sixpounder, I knew I had to get this cd. From Needled 24/7 to the title track, it will have your head banging non-stop. That's how powerful this album is. The before-mentioned Needled 24/7 is a powerful, catchy start to the album. Sixpounder is a track that just screams hated. Chokehold (Cocked N' Loaded) is another powerful blast of talent on this cd of greatness. Bodom Beach Terror is an awsome, almost party-style track that has some sweet guitar work scattered about. Angels Don't Kill is the slow song of the album, but that doesn't mean anything. Triple Corpse Hammerblow is my personal favorite, with a sweet show of the synth's power and the vocalist's anger. You're Better Off Dead is an on-the-edge-of-sanity song that you have to love. Lil' Bloodred Ridin' Hood is a deadly powerful track that you will not want to pass up. Hate Crew Deathroll has a peaceful begining that explodes into another powerful and expressive song.

So I highly recommend this cd to all of you who are even thinking of getting it. I also recommend Dimmu Borgir (duh) and Liquid Tension Experiment Vol. 2. It is very similar to these guys, only not as destuctive.
