A great debut and definitely not a typical Running Wild album. No other RW album sounds close to this and maybe it's a good thing, because it makes this album stand out as the only true old school speed metal album from their discography. These faster tracks "Victim Of States Power", "Soldiers Of Hell", "Diabolic Force", "Adrian S.O.S." are the obvious highlights here with "Prisoner Of Our Time" of course. As not the biggest fan of this production, there must a remaster out there somewhere available...

Classic peace, but I like song concept in later RW, musically some people say its pure true HM, well let it be, even there are no such thing, but its pure old school.

Reminds me a lot of Grave Diggers debut album though not as iconic. The whole satanic theme makes the album feel outdated but there's no denying they already here knew how to riff.
