Now playing:
Cryptic Slaughter – Convicted
1986 European first press on Roadrunner/Metal Blade.
Early crossover hardcore thrash with a message.
When this came out everyone in my (thrash)metal community loved it. The ultimate middlefinger.

Cryptic Slaughter is a crossover thrash band from California. Their sophomore album is Money Talks and is dang good. It is pretty heavy on the punk influence on this one. #CrypticSlaughter
