CODE BLACK
PENETRATION

With tight, crushing rhythms and massive grooves, Code Black makes a thunderous assault on this debut reissue album. In the new barrage of Power Metal acts, few could hold a candle to Code Black. Strain as they will, most fall far short of greatness. Originally released in 2005, this reissue is the surly exception. With tight, crushing rhythms and massive grooves, Code Black makes a thunderous assault. The vocals are a rough-hewn, deep yell with a punishing edge. Code Black makes it brutal. The best cuts include the tenebrous frenzy of "Hell Of A World," "Penetration," the intensity of "Escape Vision Pain," and "Nothing Left." Overall, Code Black is superior Power Metal band. It's a crushing, mutilated wonder. Stay savage. Farewell.
