when i was living in long island NY, i used to play in a band called negative reaction. they sounded alot like this band. the singer kenny, introduced my to this band. we even opened for them at the limelight. this album is full of al the right ingredients. mike sings as if a man possessed. he is tortured and it is as if too much current is running through his nerves. his voice explodes with pain and aggression. the music explodes as well, sometimes fast othertimes it wails out with a slow groove that gets your head bobbing.dynamic, brutal, dark and glowing with emotional distress eyehategod will destroy your speakers reach out and grab your soul and bleed everything in their reach. and then you will thank them for it.
