5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!!!, September 2, 1999
This was my very first introduction into the "hardcore" music scene. I was awed by the intensity of the music on this recording and the passion behind the vocals of Karl Buechner. You can just hear the longing in his voice. The lyrics are also quite powerful indeed. They definitely make one think about what is happening in the world today. A powerful, pounding piece of music. Incredible! --Kelly Magovern

4.0 out of 5 stars Militant Vegan Straightedge, August 3, 1998
It ain't hardcore, but if you need to know what's happening to our planet or our morality, these guys will tell it to your face.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT LIVE BAND, June 20, 2009
saw these guys last night in sydney and boy what a show that was. Even though they only played for 45 minutes it was still excellent, during the set i was right in front and while the singer Karl step on the metal that was separating the audience from the band i grabbed his leg ha ha but what was really cool was after that he shook my hand anyway this their debut album is their best release so pick up a copy of it.
