Another classic here from the old vaults. Already from the cover you can tell this is a classic album. Picked it up dirt cheap a long time ago and impressed immediately on the first play. Released in 1985 this album is a killer mix of thrash, punk and heavy metal. The songs although quite simple are well written with many catchy parts accompanied by great lyrics and structure.
The vocals is what gives this band character, they are in a league of their own. I hear GBH, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and maybe some Ramones? in the beast's music but they make it their own.
The production is a little beauty raw and rough with a slight home touch to it but still clear and in your face.
I listen to this album all the time, just sticks to you like glue the songs. The band released another album in 1987 called Carnival of Souls which had a bit more cleaner more expensive production and more crossover feel to it. Carnival of Souls is another great album as well the songs are just as catchy as the first album.
...Has arrived album just wins for me, just got that character and charm to it, that will forever be a underground classic album.
