capitalist casualties - disassembly line
hardcore punk meets thrash, reaches out of the stereo and tries to kill you. 30 songs in 40 minutes. brutal. not suitable for impressionable children, pregnant women and people with heart conditions.

Death Magnetic should be interesting... I was not at all impressed by "Cyanide", the only song I've heard from that release.

Metallica - Death Magnetic
A definite improvement over St.Inker, but that's hardly difficult. It hasn't moved back to 100% vintage Metallica but sits somewhere nicely between the Load/Re-Load albums and St.Inker.
