What we have here is a Live 30th Anniversary recording of their classic 4th album, Symbol Of Salvation, from the Gramercy Theater in New York. Represented here as a double clear vinyl album with the 4th side given over to demos from the sessions. It’s a nice package from Metal Blade, which even includes a poster.
It’s played in sequence of the original album, and I have to say they give the original a run for its money – this live recording is awesome. Last Train Home has a more menacing vibe than the studio album, and the title track is just epic and sounds huge. Ironically, Tribal Dance sounds like classic Anthrax. My favourite track is Spineless, which gave the thrash bands of the day a run for their money and is still a killer tune. A great recording of a great album. Definitely recommended.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
