Now, the record itself lasts just a whisker above the thirty-three minute mark and features ten anthems. Eight of these nuggets are completely new, and the general style and aged themes of the young ones definitely strikes true; lots of influence and similarities from many modern thrash works, no doubt in league with Exodus et al. of this thrash resurrection. The riffs are vicious and frantic, the solos spastic and twitching, the pace diabolical at its fastest and devastating when yielding monstrous grooves. Out of the newbies, the title track and "Vermin of the Sky" are probably the best as they accurately represent everything "Fire & Damnation" attempts to be without introducing an ounce of mediocrity some of the closing numbers have. You can plausibly understand how this sounds without hearing it, actually.

Exumer rides on the same wavelength throughout the album, and it's clear they weren't out to reinvent how the world saw thrash or even themselves. The rerecorded tunes are a mixed bag, with “Fallen Saint” taking the cake (which I’ll get to shortly) and “I Dare You” slumping miserably. “I Dare You” just isn’t enjoyable; the lyrics are embarrassingly stupid and it’s quite the juvenile cut, definitely not one worthy of its immaturity. Now that I’m whining, I find Von Stein's voice to be really underwhelming and vapid here. His tactics are cheesy and way too one-dimensional for what Exumer is trying to portray, and he sounds utterly ridiculous spitting out the lyrical drivel of "I Dare You," which is easily the weakest song. A rerecording? Yea, but it totally fails and they should've let it rest in pieces.
