Review from classicthrash.com/review_m.html
As it seems, Maskim were not a bad representative of Italian thrash metal in their days, but somehow they failed to gain any big success. Apparently the band had a history in a different kind of metal already before this album, and there is one song here that directly reminds of their hard rock heritage. That aside, this is quite a nice package with a few truly catchy riffs and a good drive throughout. Not only do a couple of songs like Fireblind demand more than average listening time due to their positively effective impact, there are many memorable individual touches like the great stomping intro of The Xperiment that lasts almost two minutes before the remainder of the song kicks in. It should be noted that some may find the nasal vocal tone slightly annoying, though. Maybe Maskim just had their album out too late for anyone to notice, otherwise it would be hard to see why there never was any follow-up to such a promising release as this.
