    For the first minute of the tune, "Greed Kills," I thought this was just another thrash band. After that first minute, though, I started to enjoy this tape. I started noticing a lot of complexity and just plain heaviness. My favorite song is "Blind Faith." It is a double bass bonanza with a strong Tourniquet vibe to it. The title cut is a cool song about how easy it is for Satan to control one's life, although the song ends giving the Gospel message without compromise.

    The production here is pretty decent, so you can turn it up! Final Warning is a pretty hot band, and Figurehead is a great tape that deserves a listen.
