Review of Escalation

I`ve yet to hear `Apocalyptic Nightmare`, but album number 3 is tighter and more urgent than Necronomicon`s messy debut, `Black Frost` and `Skeletal Remains` (for example) giving the likes of Destruction and Violent Force a run for their money in the second division teutonic thrash stakes (I`m damning with faint praise a bit there).

I`m a sucker for 80s metal artwork, so an extra thumb up for the gnarly front cover, which got me spinning `Escalation` in the first place.

6/10
