Originally recorded back in the mid-'90s but never released, Bombworks Records has done all metal lovers a favor and has made this killer album available for the first time. Royal Anguish fans will see some of the band's hybrid metal beginnings here, but this album mostly stays in the realm of thrash and old school death. Aggressive and harsh, this disc contains 13 songs of high-quality metal that don't sound as dated as one would think. This should hold Royal Anguish fans over for now as they currently record their follow-up to Mysterion.
