Decent songs here and there, but nowhere near as good as Borrowed time in my opinion. These guys are nowhere near as shitty as most revivalist thrash bands, the first four songs are pretty much emblematic of the album just fun thrashy speed metal with a good vocalist. Great stuff R.I.P
I have to agree with you on this. Borrowed Time is by far superior to Harbinger. Harbinger and another local Michigan act called Shadowself are the direct-line descendants of Borrowed Time. Three former members of Harbinger have all, at one point or another been in Borrowed Time, and the main riff author for Harbinger is now the rhythm guitar player for Borrowed Time: my brother Victor (also guitar player for the thrash metal band Sauron).
I hate to detract from Harbinger since it's my former band, but so is Borrowed Time, and where Harbinger lacked professionalism and a desire to succeed, Borrowed Time cures those deficiencies. So, in short, go listen to Borrowed Time instead of Harbinger. It is in my heavily biased but objectively reasonable opinion, some of the best and most distinctive old school heavy metal you will have heard in a long time.
