Press Reviews "(...) something that came in a card board sleeve (it looks like it was cut from a box) with the name of the band stamped on it. 3 songs best classified as generic grind. high and low end voxs (...) with very boring riffs and sound. The drums followed suit by lacking any energy or power. Too many lame breaks that just took away from what grind was barely there in the 1st place. (...) I just don't see the energy." 4 out 0f 10 - VIOLATED ROT
