 | | It was without question influential and some of my favorite bands have literally lifted riffs straight from this record, but as I listen to "Arise!" for about the tenth time this week I can't help but be struck by how much AMEBIX are wearing their influences on their sleeve as well. |
 | | A curious band, Amebix were well-known as punk/hardcore mainstays, but their work had an undeniable metallic element, as well as proving influential on future metal bands (Sepultura and Neurosis have proudly listed them as influences, and in the latter case, the influence is clear, at least when listening to very early Neurosis work). |
 | | This record is a staple in any AMEBIX fans collection, and a must hear for folks who are not familiar with this legendary band. |
