I quite enjoy this! Super well-recorded for a speed metal album from 1987. My only complaint is the vocals, which are barked and a bit tinny. To be fair, that was the style at the time, but a different approach could have put this album over the 4.0 mark pretty easily.
The songs are intricate and aggresive, taking a lot from Slayer and Morbid Saint, but somehow they end up catchy too (...relatively. It's still metal). After Schizophrenia Sepultura would slow things down quite a bit. Somehow this is the album of theirs I keep coming back to.
Album Highlights: One of the best late-80's metal instrumentals Inquisition Symphony. Gauntlets thrown, Metallica.
