Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the haunting melodic intro of track 1 into the explosive, high-speed thrash riffing at the three-minute mark.
The layered, choral-style vocal harmonies that provide a soaring counterpoint to the savage drumming in My Hands Are Empty.
The sheer velocity of the blast beats in Become the Firestorm that push the band into near-death metal territory.
