This release from Canadian legends Razor is another must have download for any classic metal fan worth their salt. Razor started to find some real form on 1985's "Evil Invaders" album. The tracks had become more developed than some of the filler tracks they'd released previously. Also Stace "Sheepdog" McLaren's charismatic gruff "Lemmy's little brother" style bark and car skid imitating shrieks were being perfected alongside some real whiplash causing riffs. On this follow up album, they'd pretty much carried on with the pedal to the metal thrashy speed metal sound and cooked up some real winners again. The productions a bit more advanced which makes the release more enjoyable. All of the album tracks are fast and balls out anthems for blazing up the road, so much so that you can practically smell petrol whilst listening to it.
Real standout album tracks that you should download would be the ultra catchy "Cage The Ragers", the title track, "Rebel Onslaught", "Night Attack" and "Stand Before Kings". All of the album tracks deliver and are really enjoyable if adrenalin fueled speed metal mayhem is your cupajoe. There's also a nice dose of fun apparent in the intro to "Stand Before Kings" and the closer "MOSH" which is a Canadian homosexual trying to appeal to the guys by playing "Jeepers Creepers" to them which ends hazardously for him! So definitely check out downloads of those aforementioned tracks.

There's nothing fancy about this album. No intricate solos or progressive attempts or real range in styles but what they do, they do really f**king well! Testosterone and adrenalin fueled Motorhead worship being dragged into the Thrash age. If someone were to ask me what real men listen to, I'd show em this...Check out mp3 downloads of the songs I recommended and go buy the album from Amazon if you take a shine to it!
