A remastered repress of the metallic crust classic from Portland’s Hellshock.

Originally released in 2005, this is Hellshock’s second LP, their self-titled fourth full-length having been released last year.  Crushingly heavy mid-paced down tuned riffage forms the bedrock of the band’s sound, accompanied by roared vocals and a brutally powerful rhythm section.  While the band are not afraid to lean into their cleaner cut thrash metal instincts, including a monstrous breakdown to close ‘Welcome to the Void’, the defining influence is perhaps a crust-laden reimagining of Realm of Chaos / Warmaster era Bolt Thrower.
