Alright, maggots! The infamous Angry Metal Guy has spoken, and the verdict is in on Stress Test. Are they the next big thing in face-melting metal, or just another bunch of noise-polluting posers? We're diving headfirst into the carnage to see if their latest release is worth the goddamn stress. Let's break it down, shall we? You can check the original review by Dolphin Whisperer on AngryMetalGuy.com.

Dolphin Whisperer reviewed the band's album "Stress Test", describing it as a mix of hardcore, thrash, and grind. The album is short and punchy, showcasing the experience of the band's members, especially those from Unto Others. While the music relies on familiar riffs, it maintains a steady momentum through welcome variations. The reviewer notes that the brevity of the tracks can limit the album's overall impact. Nevertheless, he considers "Stress Test" to be a solid debut album that shows promise for the band's future, giving it a score of 3 out of 5. Released on February 28, 2025 by Transylvanian Recordings, the album is available on various digital outlets.
