Back in print for the first time in nearly 20 years, LA's legendary Hirax returns to deliver 8 tracks of pure thrash in under 20 minutes!
Recorded in 1986 with drummer Eric Brecht (D.R.I.), this sophomore release takes the speed and intensity of Raging Violence and cranks it up a notch. A key release in the blending of thrash metal and hardcore punk, featuring the high-pitched vocals of Katon W. De Pena. Fast, relentless, and direct. Often cited as a cult classic, with a tighter, more furious songwriting approach similar to early SOD or Repulsion.
