I originally voted this pretty low because of the vocals, but actually -- after hearing all the worse bands/vocalists, perhaps? -- it doesn't sound too bad tbh on this re-listen. There's definitely some great songs right from the beginning with Bring On The Damned and The Only Safe Place. Mike Towers sounds quite a lot like David Defeis on the early Virgin Steele albums, but not as good like someone pointed out on Metal Archives. I guess it's still speed metal while not as fast as the debut. Why no 3rd album?
