Very good album! Early German Speed Metal.
This can easily keep up with their successors in the context of Rage.
Title track is the outstanding highlight here.

Maybe best what Wanger has made, better as average 90's rage and so on, basically to own it. 80's metal represent and one of those bands, or should I say album.

A prelude to Rage's career. If we're talking about speed metal this has to be one of the slowest attempts at it, which kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? I do prefer meself some Gates to Purgatory or Warrant (ger) debut or even more their EP; I like my speed fast, I like to go to town and thrash some shit up. I am an advocate for the ...of Steel concept, which doesn't mean that we could neglect the other aspects, such as writing some good songs as well. So I am not hugely impressed after listening to this album; it seems like a practise for Rage records. The best songs are at the beginning and afterwards it goes pretty bad pretty fast.

Check the Ultrabori's review for this album, heh.

I realy like the first "Rage" LP. It´s raw and fast. But IMHO Rage in their best years (Trapped, TML and BiM) were better.

I would also agree that side A is much better then B.

Faves: Title Track, Battlefield, SCU, FtH and AbS
