Agent Steel are another band that were around for a couple of albums then disappeared for years only to creep out of the woodwork and do the whole cycle again. This is their latest comeback album from 2021, and to be fair it’s not too bad. If speed metal with seriously over the top high wailing vocals is your thing, then you may have found your nirvana.

It’s Judas Priest on copious amounts of speed while travelling on a rocket ship to mars. There is no way on this or any other planet that vocalist Johnny Cyriis could do this live. There are way too many vocal parts crammed into the album to allow the guy to breath let alone grab another shot of helium. The Devils Greatest Trick is just insane vocally. There are many many takes done to achieve this but kudos to the guy as it’s mightily impressive. The speed never lets up, it’s relentless from beginning to end and the band must be total athletes.

I may pull this out to play once a year just to put a smile on my face.

7/10 from The Grooveman.
