Onward to Golgotha

The sound of being swallowed whole into the bowels of hell -- a fitting description of the grotesque sounds that New Jersey lads captured on their debut album, 1992's . The album has been long out of print, but reissued in 2006 as a double disc -- the first disc being the original album, the second disc being a live DVD, which features three full live sets from around this era of the band. at its most extreme, does not let up one iota in its intensity -- evidenced in the vocal growls, manic riffing, and wicked drumbeats -- from beginning to end. Take a gander at some of the song titles: Any question of how brutal it all must sound? Didn't think so. ~ Greg Prato
