Kreator ruled the metal scene. Back then sharp notes and deafening screams of anguish filled the scene as thrash metal was then a staple part of a healthy metal scene. Fast forward to 1998 and while thrash metal may not be a common style practiced many bands nowadays, some bands are kicking out the tunes 'retro' style and one of those bands are Guillotine. They won't deny it. Guillotine are retro.
Guillotine are thrash.
I think first this was a dedication and celebration to all of the great bands that we listened to when we were growing up to and are still listening to. But then when we heard the album and the end results we started taking this a bit more seriously and decided to go all the way with this sound and style. We had all the ideas going into the studio. It's funny how you always hear how songs shape themselves when they are recorded properly. We experienced that too.
