T.O.Tality

• Track Listing

Take Offense, who formed in 2005, isn't one to dwell on the past-

they're more apt to forge ahead toward new frontiers. And yet it's all

of those years of grinding and the accompanying blood/sweat that got

them to T. O. tality, the new LP (their fourth overall) for new label MNRK

due on May 10th. In an age where everyone is strapping on white high

tops and studying the ways of DRI, Celtic Frost, and Judas Priest, Take

O ense have found a new approach crafted with a sense of modernity-

incorporating the hard-driving ethos of thrash, the fi nesse of speed

metal, the sneering tenacity of hardcore all while nodding to their home

of Southern California. With T. O. tality, Take O ense have reached the

pinnacle of the crossover style.
