Resistance - And Denied was their Future (1989)

This is technical but sloppy thrash. I can hear what they're trying to do, and if they could actually execute it, this would be great. Unfortunately, the riffs are too complex for them, and they're trying to play above their abilities. Their style is possibly best described as "a less chaotic and more American-sounding version of Sieges Even's LifeCycle". The riffs are technical and the songs are complex, with multiple riffs, time changes, and start/stop action. However, there are other weaknesses aside from the playing. The vocals are also weak -- they're more talked/shouted than really sung, and the guitar solos are pretty lame. It's a shame, because if this had been competently played, I'd be tempted to consider it a must-have tech-thrash demo. I would like to hear this re-recorded when they got better at their instruments.
