I have known this band for over 20 years, and I have watch them grow from brighteyed young thrashers to a well refined Metal machine, that engages with their community and shares their mature outlook as well as an extreme influence to the younger generation of women in Metal and Punk, as well as others in all walks of life. Having shared the stage with the likes of Kreator and Nervosa, this band continues to grow, and they do so without mercy or permission.
