Slayer influences are definitely present, but encased within a modern sound and tone with a couple of hardcore touches, most notably when the vocalist sputters like an aging Beetle on a wintry morning. The vocalist does an acceptable job as thrashy shouter, so it was surprising to discover that he is borrowed from doom rockers Taak, for whom he adopts a completely different style and tone. I can't say the lyrical topics are overly fascinating, but if I can put up with "Hail Satan Our Dark Lord of Darkness" rubbish wailed in highly broken English, I can survive a couple of numbers about torque and engines. Furiously performed thrash may be a natural complement for drag racing, but that doesn't mean that this can be sustained over the course of a career; still, if the car porn of "The Fast and the Furious" and "Gone in Sixty Seconds" is the kind of thing that revs your engine, then this might be worth an investigation.
