Megaforce is very low profile, I hardly see many of their titles in the market including this one. Only some Testament's and Overkill's titles are frequently available at music stores. What a shame ! (Another awful thing is all of their titles are analogue, they've never remastered any album in the past 30 years, claiming that's their best effort to maintain the "original sounds". Actually just an excuse of not willing to spend extra money and effort for listeners. What a stingy bag !)

It's old school speed alright. Maybe even a bit too straightforward stuff IMO. Good album in overall, that lacks those really good/killer songs, only the title track being something exceptionally great.
---- My vision is augmented

They're coming to my country along with Sacred Reich and Night Demon. I should listen to this. I hope all those bands are great live.
---- Crackhead Megadeth reigns supreme.

This is goodm speed metal, motorhead, bad attitude. When I start listen metal to me this was real sound of it. Good sound, seems way to good for unknown bands from Canada what put album out in the 80's
---- I stand whit Ukraine and Israel. They have right to defend own citizens. Stormtroopers of Death - "Speak English or Die"  I better die, because I never will learn speek english, so I choose dieing

Written by Bad English on 09.02.2021 at 21:07 They were good only in the first three albums (1983-1985). The debut being their best imo.

Written by Dr. Strawberry on 28.11.2014 at 10:28 Why wouldn't you want the original analogue recording? Digital remasters are the scourge of vinyl enthusiasts everywhere, so good on Megaforce for not going down that route. Heavy Metal Maniac and the follow up Violence & Force are speed metal master classes.
