I don't have this but I know someone who does..., 16 Oct 2007

My girlfriend has one of these and loves it. Its the 2006 model though, but all the componentry and angles seem the same as this, and the frame definitely does.

OK, so Lawnmower Deth did a little send up of it but it doesn't stop it being one of the best thrash albums ever. If only you could still buy the Reign in Blood Pack!
