Next up is Prophecy of Doom, which along with the title track, stands out to me as the best song on the album. Up next is the chugging, groove driven Kill or Be Killed, which is an expanded and improved version of the song that appeared on the demo, followed by the groovy, catchy Just a Sinner, which though being a new song, would not at all have sounded out of place on the demo.

When I think of African music, I don't think of progressive death metal. You could be sold right there, but African or not, Wrust proves that they are awesome, Africa or no Africa.
