30 years later still one of the best metal songs. Perfect bassline and the drums have so much rhythm it makes you sick. After playing guitar for 35 years this is one of my all-time favorite songs to attempt to play. Chuck Billy is simply the best thrash metal singer, always has been.

[@clauswilker4734]

Ritual is not their best album IMHO (and I wonder why they chose its weakest track as album title - that's a privilege reserved to Anvil ;-)), and this may be their most commercial song ever, but it's a killer - it has an incredible "flow", start to finish. It just grooves.
