review by: Larissa Glasser

This infernal duo from West Warwick, Rhode Island offers some surprisingly fresh and fierce black thrash in the vein of Angelcorpse, early Impiety, even Hellhammer. Indeed, so varied, thick, blasting, and demonic is this 18-minute slab of metal one must wonder how much of this kind of shit flies beneath our radar each and every day. The metal scene in New England may have a future, after all.

Songs like "Nuclear Fucking Deathcult" and "With Hate" highlight Amputator’s Celtic Frost leanings (lessons well learned), in addition to their primal strength to be gained through that unquenchable ferocity. This band’s aim is clear.

Hoarse and even phlegmatic vokills, thick distortion, and excellent songwriting add up to an excellent new weapon for the War Against the Light. Highly recommended! (8.5/10)
