Debut album by Hades. They had lots of metal thrashing madness, but they also had some speed metal and lots of progressive elements. Every song is distinct and stylistically different, without ever sounding contrived,  they all just fit together. The technical level of the five musicians is never to question, showing that they can thrash or play more traditional metal songs as well.
