Old school metal anthem style, Malice are also the purveyors of a HUGE guitar sound, courtesy of master metal producer Michael Wagener. I think it’s safe to say that classic Judas Priest are a huge inspiration here.

This is the first full album by Malice that came out in ´85 after first appearing on the first Metal Massacre compilation. Atlantic Records signed them up immediately and it was obvious they had faith in the band, but they were dropped after the follow up album. I guess there was only room for one Judas Priest. Nevertheless, this is still a highly entertaining album, full to the brim with hands in the air anthems. My favourite song is opener Rockin’ With You because that huge sounding rhythm guitar just reels you in, and being a sucker for that type of song, it was an easy choice.

If you see this around whilst digging then pick it up, it’s a fun listen.

8/10 from The Grooveman.
