The birth of New Jersey thrash finally unleashed on vinyl! Before storming onto the scene with their classic debut Power and Pain, carved their place in metal history through raw, uncompromising demos and ferocious live shows. This collection gathers together those recordings for the first time on wax, preserving the untamed spirit of a band on the rise. From basement recordings to the sweat-soaked chaos of CBGB’s, this is more than just a collection, it’s the sound of thrash in its purest, most dangerous form.
