Stampin' Ground's second album is pretty much another SG album, but it seems to be the one where they really started going hardcore with the thrash (pun totally intended). Consequently, it has more of a raw thrash quality than their last two albums -- which combined the disparate elements of their sound (beatdown hardcore, thrash, and groove metal) a bit more cohesively -- but is still just as reliant on heavy-as-**** breakdowns and sitting on a groove rift until the wheels fall off.
One might call them at least a little two-dimensional, but they're so good at what they do that I consider them second only to Arkangel as far as Slayer-ified metalcore goes.
