Review: When I first heard this band is playin good ol' speed metal, I thought to myself "oh shit, there still are people doing this???", so you can easily guess how eager I was to receive this CD. The first thing that attracts your attention is the cover-artwork, which has a good concept, good idea, but its exposure is almost stupid: childish Photoshop , or worse, Paint work not even worked out to pass unobserved... A pitty. Than about music what can I say? I see more punk/thrash work than speed inhere. This band would have been one of the leading ones back in the beginnings of the '80's, but now they should be very attentive not to fall into a ridiculous state. The guitar work on this album is pretty strong and it seems all the band is depending on the guitarist, which is not necesarly a bad thing, I would say, but then we face the worst lack of this release, the very poor, "80's-like sound, and that's not an advantage at all, that's for sure. I would recommend this to the old die-hard fans of punk/thrash scene from the beginnings of time. :) Anyway, a positive thing would be if this band would go straight on this genre, despite all trends. Hopefully they will.
