Killer!, the first word that comes to upon after listening to this album. Dusk Machine, formerly known as Deception, feature veteran metal drummer Randy Black (Primal Fear, ex- Annihilator). Overall the direction of the music is straight forward heavy metal with thrash and power metal influences. Annihilator can be heard throughout the disc (think the albums "Carnival Diablos", "Criteria For A Black Widow"). Tight musicianship brings out great results on the debut release and sets up for a promising future.
