Mordred was one of the earliest funk metal bands ever, and that was made more prominent with their In This Life release, their second album, as only two songs on their debut were funk-laced, with the rest of the album being mid-paced heavy metal to thrash metal for the most part. This time around though, the majority of this album is funk metal, and not much else of it is straight out heavy metal or otherwise, as its only straight-out thrash metal offering is “Progress”, and “A Beginning” is a brief instrumental done with clean guitar.
