I had never even heard of these guys before... Phil of GME Distribution sent it to me in trade because he thought I'd like it, and FUCKING HELL, I do !!! If somebody would've told me this was released by SHRAPNEL back in 1983 I would've taken his word. But these 5 guys are from Hellas of all places and they raise Hell for sure. Mostly up tempo Heavy Metal without HELLOWEEN / MALMSTEEN references in a vein I haven't heard since the good old days of CULPRIT, WILD DOGS, HAWAII, VICIOUS RUMOURS, HEXX and other cult bands of the early 80s... I can also hear a good portion of very early RAVEN in this. Sure, not everything is perfect, but songs like "Never again", "Pleasure for Flesh" or "Song for Revenge" carry a feeling of authenticity that I haven't heard in quite a while. It's their second CD already and I'm really drooling to hear their first one now...
