Universally panned by Hallows Eve fans, in retrospect I think this album was and is still deserving of a far better judgement than it received. A close second to the band's sophomore release, "Monument" is a standout album simply because few thrash bands at the time were integrating HOOKS and melody into their delivery like this band. Barring Metallica, Flotsam, Overkill, Anthrax, Megadeth and Testament this was just about the only other act successfully marrying old school melodic hooks and brutal instrumentation. This is exactly why Hallows Eve should have been one of those first tier bands too. It's a tragedy this album would mark the final effort by the core lineup.
