n o t e :
Their debut Retribution is a beastly album
blending the savagery of New York death metal
with the fleet-fingered fretting of forerunners Death and Gorguts.
Now repackaged, remastered, and featuring 3 bonus tracks,
Retribution documents the first steps in the journey of one of metals most crucial new bands.
The track “Intoxicated” (#7) on this edition renamed to “Hate Anthem”.
Also there's a misprint of the tracklist on the 2010 edition –
the track “Sweet Silence” is absent on back cover but exist on the CD.
