From this first album one can hear the nascent Krueger corporate identity, energizing, incorporating elements of thrash, death metal, full of own ideas. The subjects of the texts are close to the horrors of Gogol's works, horror films and about demons such as Pumpkin-headed , the Evil Dead , Nightmare on Elm Street , etc. which is typical for these musical directions, and also necessary for recognition among the metal community, similarly to the recording of Slayer 's debut album Show No Mercy . The music and themes of the group Krüger and Slayer have common features, and the recording of the debut album took place similarly, in the absence of funding, literally due to the musicians themselves. Moreover, the recording of the album by Krüger was aggravated by what happened in the conditions of the economic crisis and the collapse of the USSR .
The album is an excellent material of Russian heavy rock and thrash metal, and stands out for its special weight, dryness and hardness of sound, and at the same time an exciting incendiary effect. In concerts, the group also performed similar compositions of Deep Purple and Motorhead [3] . The group performed at all major festivals of the country with the compositions of this album, delighting regular fans and winning new ones. The group took part in the festival "Monsters of Rock of the USSR" together with the groups: Cruise , Black Coffee , E.S.T. et al. [4] .
The album was reissued on a CD in 2007 by the CD-Maximum label [5] .
