Atomic Terror "However, this is no ordinary thrash puke as these guys have tapped into a peculiar corner and conjured their own demons for us to contend with. It reminds me of the first time I heard Hellhammer, or even Celtic Frost and Voivod, a time where I was spooked by the peculiar primitive gurgles which made to feel uncertain by the obscure nature of the bathtub drums and scuzzy bass sound." -Neil Arnold Metal Forces Magazine
