This album had one lineup change from Forbidden Evil, Tim Calvert replaced Glen Alvelais on guitar. Glen would go on to play with Testament and other projects. This one seemed more melodic and maybe a bit progressive compared to Forbidden Evil, production was definitely better. It was the last album with Paul Bostaph who would go on to join Slayer.
