When Vengeance Rising split due to the walking out of frontman Roger Martinez, who decided God was not for him and turned to athesim, it was inevitable that a compilation album would surface and this is it. Songs from all four albums are here, perhaps a few omissions that should have been included, but overall this gives a clear indication of the type of music expected on the albums.
It includes the megablasts of killer riffer Warfare, the extreme heaviness of Human Sacrifice and the doomy growling and grindcore of You Will Be Hated. Into the Abyss clocking 8 minutes is a definitve VR track, as is White Throne. I would have liked Help Me and Raegoul too as they were awesome instrumentals with some subliminal whispering, but overall the compilation nails the best of the band in a compact state.
There is nothing new on offer for those with every album but this could be a good starting point for those who have an interest in high powered thrash and extreme vocalisations. Vengeance Rising will always be remembered for their no holds barred approach to thrash metal and they deliver the goods make no mistake.
