Violent Termination is a tough album to rate because it shows early signs of the band's ambitious progression and cut rate guitarwork, but it's letdown by it's NWOBHM influences, borrowing from other bands, and a lazy vocal performances. The solos and riffs are enough to get it by most of the time though and shows the bands reliance on them if nothing else excites.

This album combines some of the worst prod I've ever heard with some of the worst vocals I've come across. It's not that the record sounds lo-fi - that'd be fine, and tbh the frequency spectrum is decently covered -. The bass is mixed super oddly and is the most prominent flaw here, it literally sounds like low ended farts. The toms on 3 are ridiculously loud. And idk if it is the spotify version or what, but track 9 is louder than the rest, and on min 2 of track 6 it sounds like there is a CD scratch on the record or something? The vocalist sounds like he does not want to be there, has no energy, and ruins practically every song as soon as he comes on. Some of the songs have occasionally nice riffing, but really when the sound is this bad a couple riffs aren't gonna save ya. The more he shuts up - like on 7's intro - the better. 8 is probably the most decent track here. 1 is the best track and a jam because it is a superb album intro, but I have no clue what the heck it is doing in this record. By contrast and with the surprise effect, 2 is probably the worst here. The occasional good riffs and formal nature of the record's flaw (rather than compositional, mostly) keep me hopeful for the rest of the discog, but I can't decently rate this any higher than 1.5
