Ok, if asked to describe this album in one word i'd use: BRUTAL. This album really redefines metal/punk! The lyric book has a very intresting art concept, with bright colours, hand written style lyrics, and all forms of weird and wonderful pictures. Right, you've finally put the CD into you're player, whats the first thing you hear? Casey Chaos, amen front man, do a nice angry scream. If you werent awake, you will be now!

Amen have been doing the rounds for a few years now and they have managed to gather a rather eclectic following along the way.
