Great fucking death metal! This mCD was originally only released on vinyl as the band’s second official release (the first being their full-length debut, the death-metal classic "Kill for Pleasure"), and it picks up right where the album left off - Crazy, insane death-thrash in the greatest mid-late 80s tradition. The songs "Face Fate", "Blood Lust" (a remixed version of the song that was put on the "Kill for Pleasure" CD release as an unlisted bonus track), "R.I.P.", and "Vampire" are full of superfast riffs and breakneck tempo/time changes, and just like on the debut the three hallmarks of the band are in perfect form: the totally insane, chaotic soloing of guitarists Mike Basden and Adam Tranquilli, the totally unstoppable drumming of Kevin Kuzma, and vocalist Gary Marovitch’s unique frantic death-shouts. Musically, there’s not much else to say - Like I said earlier, it picked up right where the first album left off, so if you like one you’ll like the other. The only additional notes are about the issue/packaging itself: this reissue is another of New Renaissance’s hand-numbered limited edition releases, and it restores the original cover art (both front and back) and also includes a nice two-page liner note story by Ann Boleyn which details the story of Blood Feast and this Eps original release.
