If Yngwie Malmsteen didn't suck his songs would sound like these.

A true masterpiece, one of a kind album. When I always say vocals are the best thing on a Helstar album, this is an exception; now it's the guitars.

I was waiting for you to comment on this
This was my first encounter with Helstar, I listened to "Baptized In Blood" from a friend of mine on cassette. Remains one of my favourite tracks of all time ever since. I agree, the guitars are insane on this album.

It's a perfect opener song, that kind of summarizes everything that's good in this album to itself. That and the next song "To Sleep, Perchance To Scream" are the songs that I prefer the most on this album.

Absolutely killer album, easily one of the best power-thrash records I have ever heard in my life. Glad to see Nosferatu getting some love it deserves.

Not sure which I prefer between this one and A Distant Thunder, this is in any way crazy good stuff, the guitarists are total maniacs! My favourite song is the haunting Curse Has Passed Away.

Both albums can be seen splendid, but in my view only Nosferatu from these two albums is really pushing the envelope in this thrash/neoclassical/whatever genre.

Yeah I agree that Nosferatu is a more unique album where they tried to expand the genre. A Distant Thunder is, at least to me, a bit more memorable though. But yeah, it's very close call between the two.

Dodgy cover notwithstanding; excellent album. Helstar's most expansive piece. Love Rivera's vocal performance - almost Geoff Tate standard.

Larry Barragan and Andre Corbin even surpassed Andy Larocque and Michael Denner

Very good music but I do not like the vocals.
