fear is the path to the darkside "only the dead have seen the end of war" (2002)

after reaching the pinnacle of engineering and craftsmanship in high end automobiles and firearms, the germans  decided to use their considerable skills perfecting evil, epic metallic hardcore in the early 2000s......the result of what im sure where weeks or perhaps months of rigorous testing and exipirimenting in a cutting edge recording studio was this album, which i effortlessly place at the very pinnacle of the genere. the sound quality, the lyrics, the vocals, the riffs, the overall song structure......like a factory-fresh porsche or HK P30, its flawless in all aspects and outperforms its competition by huge margins.......this is what modern metallic hardcore should be and 9 years on, its still fresher than 98% of bands operating on or near the same wavelength today........members of stack/universal and a few other bands set out to make the perfect record and succeeded with flying colors. a MUST LISTEN.

only the dead have seen the end of war....
