Pleasure to Kill

A foundational pillar of extreme metal. Relentless speed, macabre storytelling, and a raw, unhinged energy that bridged the gap between thrash and death metal.

It's the sonic equivalent of a chainsaw fight in a 1980s horror movie.

Relentless, confrontational energy with a dark, cinematic sense of impending doom.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the eerie classical guitar intro of Choir of the Damned into the blistering speed of Ripping Corpse.
The unhinged, almost out-of-control drum fills that anchor the title track's main riff.
The sudden, sharp vocal delivery of Mille Petrozza on Under the Guillotine that mimics the fall of the blade.
