We are then treated with my personal favourite track on the entire release, the truly immortal thrash classic "Lebanon", a song that has rightfully earned a place as one of my top thrash songs of all time.

This version of the band released the EP "Revolution of the Mind" and launched the first full-scale Australian desrruction that Mortal Sin had ever undertaken. Had Mortal Sin let some of these tracks mature a little more before they were recorded, they could have been better still, but the most interesting thing of all is that "Mayhemic Destruction" was originally designed only as a demo.
Released six months later, "Mayhemic Destruction" captures the essence of the embryonic Australian thrash metal scene in its minimalist production values and the immediacy of its delivery.
