I think The Crucified is the best Christiain metal band of all time. Not even close IMO. But Tourniquet as pretty good. I like Living Sacrifice a bit more. What about Mortification, Vengence Rising, Believer, Focused etc.
Yeah, you're right for all the reasons you and quadrupleplay mentioned.
Their drummer, Ted K, is the one primarily responsible for what makes these guys awesome - thought-provoking lyrics, 5x the riffs per song ratio of others, etc. He truly is an example of a God-given intellect paired with great skill and creativity. They're also responsible for several blown out speakers of mine :o)
@Shockheadd45: This is absolutely one of my favorite albums of all time. EVERY SINGLE SONG has one of the most unique, most interesting and among the all-around best riffs in thrash history. Then there's the super-intelligent song titles and lyrical craft, and the drumming...my own quote is that God must exist if this album also exists!
I think of some of those classic music cues used at sporting events when this main riff plays - it's one of them. I heard it before I heard the riff here.
@quadrupleplay I do honestly thought think the same thing about this band 2 year ago when I first heard them. God blesses certain musicians with the technical, and songwriting talent. Their drummer is a genius and underrated innovator in the genre. All their songs have such emotion.
The main riff is essentially King Diamond's "Omens." I'm surprised no one has ever noticed that.

The song when at 00:25 reminds me of Mortal Kombat when the 2 people fight.

@Shockheadd45: It sure reminds me of SOMETHING. A quotation from the Mortal Kombat theme would fit the song's subject.
