DYOXEN

Debut album from 1989 by Canadian DYOXEN, one of the hidden gems of late-1980s technical Thrash Metal. With "First Among Equals", the band crafted a distinctive sound that combined Thrash aggression with sophisticated songwriting, intricate arrangements and exceptional musicianship.

The album is driven by razor-sharp riffing, frequent tempo changes, unconventional song structures and outstanding guitar work, all supported by a powerful production that allows every detail of the band's technical yet hard-hitting approach to shine through. Although largely overlooked upon its original release, it has since earned cult status among fans of progressive and technically accomplished Thrash Metal.
