Critique :

La dreamteam est arrivé, le label Roadrunner records fete ces 25 ans et c'est du lourd : Le must du label reunit pour un maximum de musique. Au programme 1h17 de trash, de death, de heavy, de black, de néo ou autre ..... du bonheur en cd. Rien à ajouter sauf une pochette faiblarde par rapport à l'album. (perso ma preferés "Annihilation by the hand of god" normal c'est avec le chanteur de DEICIDE Glen Benton ^^ et la plus nul "No Way Out" avec un chanteur de merde et une horrible envie de changer de chanson)

Note Générale : 8.5/10 (une bonne compil' pour feter dignement les 25 ans du label mythique)
Production : 9/10 (nickel comme on pouvait l'esperer
Cover : 7/10 (bof le logo du label, rien d'extra-ordinaire)
Composition : 9/10 (les compositeur principaux ont fait du beau boulot, des styles bien differents pour un maximum d'efficacité)
