Reviews: Mystic describes these guys as a hardcore speed-metal death band," and I can't improve upon that summation much. Dr. Know plays fast thrash and semi-thrash with heavy metal guitar leads and depressing, horror-inspired lyrics. They're tight as a drum and undeniably powerful, though some of the aforementioned metal parts are excruciating. In the LA Stains tradition, but quite a bit better. -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #14, June 1984)
