release notes:
'Indoctrination Rituals' might sound a bit more modern compared to those
records from 1986, but as a whole, this debut album by a few young
Americans is thoroughly enjoyably old school. They offer not much of the
more melodic sort of American Thrash, instead they go for the fast and
shard sounding brand. If you're still having fun with your Defiance, Vio-
Lence, Atrophy, Toxik, Gammacide, Hirax, Xentrix and EvilDead records,
this is probably something that is right up your thrashing alley. Melody
is overrated, we're on a path of shredding and chopping riffs. These
youngsters still have a thing or two to learn, but this first proper
offering is far from bad.
Just like the best records from the bands mentioned before,
'Indoctrination Rituals' is an album that thrives on a certain feel and
sense of youthful impertinence. That's an ingredient that is absolutely
vital for a good and successful Thrash record and ironically enough,
something that is missing with most of the releases by such genre giants.
And, as a whole, it is even missing with the majority of the younger
generation of bands as well. The thing that makes 'Indoctrination
Rituals' a great listen is a good amount of raw edges and unpolished
ugliness that truly harkens back to the genre's ultimate peak of the late
80's.
Not to be confused with other bands with same name.
