Not to be confused with the whore from New York, this Polish band has been around longer. This 1985 CD gives a view into the Polish scene. At the time the main bands the fans could get were probably Accept, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Metallica, or so I assume. That's what it sounds like they listened to here.

KAT play raw underproduced thrashy power metal. The singer sounds like Udo from Accept, hoarse and wailing, and trying to be sharper. Not bad. I like his screams, not enough of them.

I had a chuckle when I heard the opening riff to "Devils' Child", as it sounds like "Struck By Lightning" by TANK. If you like old school headbangin shit like Metal Church and Accept, this has some pretty solid songs for you like Time of Revenge, (You Got Me) Vampire, Devils' Child, Oracle,and 666. The two bonus tracks sound like a demo, Noce Szatana (Satan's Night), and Ostatni Tabor (Final Train,??, my Polish is rusty). Pretty cool, more traditional-type metal than the rest of this, but not that far off. Maybe even my two fave songs off this. By the way, since I'm Polish, maybe I am biased towards this, but if you have a few bucks and see this, and like pre-thrash metal, pick this up.

The tracks are- Metal and Hell/ Killer/ Time of Revenge/ Devil's House Part I/ (You Got Me) Vampire/ Devils' Child/ Black Hosts/ Oracle/ Devil's House Part III/ 666/ Noce Szatana/ Ostatni Tabor.
