The lead singer sounds kind of like Steve Souza from Exodus.

[ReaperOfPuppets]

awesome stuff, german thrash is some of THE greatest thrash in the world. This and the bay area scene from the 80's early 90's is what its about.

@SwedishHeadbanger Oh, yes... recently I have been amazed by Brazilian scene. I just knew sepultura and sarcofago. But I found out Vulcano, mutilator, sadistik exekution, etc.. and they are all great :) Some says those albums are death metal earlier than DEATH. But I dont think they deserve to be the grandfathers of death metal. they may even be influenced by DEATH/Mantas or Possessed. Anyways, i regard them as extreme thrash (thrash death) and are precursor of death metal.

@robinzhooded Recently, albums from Razor, Nuclear Assault etc are also bootlegged. They are from Russia. As far as I know, the bootlegs even have the same matrix numbers as the originals. The only difference is the font type of the matrix. Other things are, like you pointed out, exactly the same as originals, even the booklet quality.

@ChildoftheCorn666 much better , than exodus. 

[FRANKTANK1964]

[RomaVictor73]

This cd was bootlegged recently, looks almost the exact same as original only difference is the matrix number, buyer beware.
