"This album was available through an overseas outfit, Empire Records for the shortest time imaginable, and on top of that the Record Company's website for the band was NEVER up and running. The only thing you could sample from this Polish assault was a single called "Thrash The South" which if you were lucky enough to even get to sample it, would have blown your mind. Excellent musicianship, obviously a very tight band. At one point I was lucky enough to run across a band member via email and was ready to wire money to him so he could send me a copy, but due to a death in the family, I had totally forgotten about it. The guy was super nice and was very excited to hear that someone in the states had even heard of them and was pulling for their success. This band was not getting the representation they deserved. A year or so later I'm sampling stuff here and low and behold, I just happen to cross Day Before The End's path. Not that anyone cares about this story I've told, but it just illustrates how difficult it is these days to find QUALITY metal and once you've found it, you gotta act fast. This is a rare gem. Get one of the four copies left."
