here are a few reviews of what people thought at the time.

Hammy has picked totally different bands for his first few LP's on Peaceville. That is immediately obvious when you compare DOOM and the band DEVIATED INSTINCT from Norwich. The Deviated one's are significantly more hardcore orientated and from this album I'd put them right at the top of the UK scene.

This is how pure HC should be played, with thought. Never generic, each track always has something special up it's sleeve even if the band border closely on thrash at times. This Lp should go down well anywhere by rights because tracks like 'Return of Frost' and 'Conquest for Eternity' are pure classics of the genre. But one thing that lets the side down a little is the vocals which are nigh on unintelligable, but the music should tear up a few of the comfortable UK metal roots.

'Mechanical extinction' includes music to mosh to so everyone's welcome in this one. The essence of HC is the lyrics and there's intelligence abounding on this front as well so all in all this is an excellant debut. The band live are pure mayhem all the way and should be promoted as the successors to CIVILISED SOCIETY, the band to carry the flag for the UK scene. Search this one out or we'll set Windy the Camberwick Green chainsaw holocaust on to you. (Mike Exley) Metal Forces

Also on Peaceville is Deviated Instinct's Rock 'n' Roll Conformity a twelves-track LP of fast, grungy metallic hardcore thrash that beats the drum a little too much. Accused type vocals ride on a very Accused sounding outfit that comes up with a few choice riffs and even has a C.O.C feel at times. The raw wall of noise production has all the elements of a fun platter that should be succesful among both crowds, especially the speedcore maniacs. (Pushead) Thrasher

Decent Metalcore with plenty of power. It gets kind of lost in parts, but the power is still maintained. Scary lyrics but true lyrics. Plus a mystery surprise track at the end of side 2 that Discharge fans will appreciate. Pretty good (Thashead) Flipside

What else can I say but 'Fuuuuck' what an awesome album. Definately one of the most original sounding records i've heard for a long time. Very heavy grinding riffs with just the right amount of metal tinges, combined with manic vocals makes this album a must. Stenchcore Lives (Smelly) Misc Fanzine
