Review

Who doesn't like some good German thrash? I guess the best way to describe First Class Violence would be that it's a mix of mid-80s, dirtier and more extreme Kreator and Destruction and the post-2000 era of both bands, where they polished things up quite a bit but kept up with the speed and aggression. Most of the songs here are pretty catchy and you're practically guaranteed to have a few riffs and choruses stuck in your head. The sound is rich, full and heavy and the album doesn't have much in terms of lighter passages, so if good heavy, speedy German thrash is your thing, this is certainly worth checking out.
