This is the second album from these Italians, and when one realises that they wanted to recreate the music of Exciter, Abattoir and Agent Steel then it is no surprise that this is what they sound like. It is almost as if the last thirty years haven’t happened, as this is the sort music that was appearing Metal Massacre compilations long before Death and Black Metal really started to make an appearance, while nu-metal was just a twinkle in someone’s eye. It is strange to think that at one time this style of metal was cutting edge and was at the limit of what people expected. Interestingly they call it speed metal, which is a term that never really caught on, much like Raven calling their own style athletic rock. Most people would think of this as thrash, nothing more or less.
The result here is an extremely solid album that will appeal to fans of the above bands, while at the same time adds absolutely nothing new to the genre. But, they do it well and this is a solid 3 * album, that although not essential, will certainly find plenty of fans.
