Thrash metal, baby!! Vulture may not be the most famous band out there, but that doesn't mean that they weren't any good. 'Easier To Lie' eventually became this Dutch bands swansong, delivering them unto the obscure thrash metal-band hall-of-non-fame. And that is a shame, as these guys delivered some solid metal! This is pummeling US thrash, the speedier kind. They remind me of bands like Anthrax, Powermad and maybe Apocalypse? The lyrics are your typical political and social commentaries. But they also have stuff like "Backwards", which is about backward masking, or hidden backwards messages if you will, in metal. If you like your screaming machinegun guitars, a high-pitched yet smooth voice, and a steady but never dull rhythm section, than this CD is for you. The title track alone is worth the it. Too bad that it is so hard to find, as it was released when thrash metal was almost considered a cuss word. I'll cherish my CDR until I can find a real copy.

Killer tracks: Hatred At First Sight, Remember Me, Backwards, Easier To Lie, Kicked From Both Sides
