Solid as hell THRASH metal - Hypnosia are enviably tight and more-than-adequately produced, so you know Extreme Hatred's not some cheap Sodom hack-job (see 1/3 of the current Osmose stable). Still, Hypnosia know what they're doing isn't remotely revelatory or "new" and damn well want you to know that, too, and done so enthusiastically and lovingly (or is that hatefully?), that?s where the record's charm lies. So don the bullet-belt and sleeveless jean-jacket, quaff a 12-pack or two, and salute with the goat horns ? double fist this with Kreator's Extreme Aggression for a cranked-out/-up night of rivetheaded bliss.
