This should be absolutely mandatory to fans of just heavy metal in general, with genre's aside. But I'm assuming those who really enjoy 80's US metal would be more than blown away by this than anyone else, especially those interested in obscure classic US power metal (Attacker, Tyrant, Liege Lord, etc). It should be stressed that the production on this album is actually extremely good but only up until recently a very low-grade rip was available, a newer one was put out there not too long ago and really displays the production in its full glory. An actual copy of this album will surely not be easy to find however, so good luck on that one. Their follow up release proved to be worthy but surely didn't quite rank up to the level of this one, it's still recommended if you enjoy this though. Until then, if you think you've seen it all think again. And spread the word will ya, hardly anyone knows about this band and that's an utter shame.
