Despair

Despair was one of the early signings for the fledgling Century Media label (which stands to reason, as former vocalist Robert Kampf founded the label) and also one of the earlier bands featuring producer (and Grip Inc. guitarist) Waldemar Sorychta. Beyond All Reason is basically a Germanic-flavored early-nineties thrash album (more Euro-speed metal than classic thrash), with the occasional progressive touch with time changes and the like. Not really revolutionary for its time, and a bit dated now, but competently done.
