It can be easy to take stalwart Japanese hardcore bands for granted, simply by their continued existence and unwavering consistency, decade after decade. This is Warhead's second official full-length in like two decades of existence.

This album sounds like a band on the verge of combustion, just utterly frantic and heavy and raging and precise and manic. It’s quite nearly perfect!

Warhead’s Cry Of Truth is a Top Ten Japanese Hardcore release for many, and for good reason. For any person trying to make the argument that a hardcore band should grow up by growing out of the standard template, allow us to crack a copy of Warhead over their skull.
