Aftermath stands as a pivotal name in the annals of Arizona Metal, renowned for their distinctive brand of thrash - characterized by powerful, intricate compositions that resonate profoundly with fans of the genre's technical aspects. Originally recorded and self-released in 1988 on cassette, Building Up To Meltdown is set to receive the long-awaited vinyl treatment it rightfully deserves. This album is a must-listen for aficionados of American thrash metal. Despite the passage of 35 years, its themes remain strikingly relevant: Are we truly on the brink of a meltdown? Is nuclear fallout looming? Featuring nine adrenaline-fueled tracks spanning 40 minutes of relentless thrash, Building Up To Meltdown follows the band's earlier release, Don't Cheer Me Up, recorded in 1987 during a prolific period for the Arizona metal scene. Limited to 300 copies, this edition includes a high-gloss cardboard cover, an insert with lyrics, liner notes and rare photos, a band promo photo, and a hand-numbered certificate card.
