There are a couple different covers for this record so some people think they released two albums, but originally this was the only version, plus an earlier independent EP release.

I am a sucker for any band with a killer guitar player and back in the day I would buy albums on this criteria alone. Although, I’m not sure who plays what parts on this record, whether it be Jacky Foxx or Robbie Saint, there are some killer leads laid down on this album.

Varying from melodic hard rock to metal, this record is a whole bunch of fun with influences varying from NWOBHM to Diamond’s prime time hair like on Cold As Stone, and my favourite track Dealer with that full on metal assault. Vyper should have done more songs like this because they do it quite well. Double kicks blasting away, high pitch screaming, and max riffage with the inevitable ripping solos.

If nothing else, this album is a whole bunch of fun.

8/10 from The Grooveman.
