Tracklist side A:
- ALUCARD - Listos Para La Acción
Heavy, pounding Steel w/ überhigh vocals in the very US tradition of Nasty Savage, Ruthless, Tyrant etc. Primitive coolness. - GOG - Ángel De Metal
Absolutely GRAND galloping Power Metal with great guitar harmonies, making you forget all about the semi-rough musical performance and vocals. - XYSTER - Contra La Fe
The 3rd band we know of with this monicker presents yet another very US-influenced Power Metal pearl in total Jag Panzer-class. - CUERO Y METAL - Gritarás Al Viento
Starts off like some Agent Steel/Abattoir classic (or derivative thereof) that I can't seem to clock at the moment and it's strike 4 for absolute US-PowerSteel worship. - ABADDON - Madame Bathory
In the family of Metal tracks on the Elisabeth Bathory-theme, this one stands proud and well worthy of an inclusion on a future compilation album on the subject. Reminds me of Metalploitation-mistresses Original Sin for some reason..
Tracklist side B:
- CUERO Y METAL - Escuadrón De La Muerte
Another great Speed Metal Hit that despite its zero originality earns a chestful of golden doubloons for its rock-hard, Fist Held High badassness! - GOG - Aurora Boreal
Power-Thrash w/ high-v/s-low vocals that continues to do everything right despite the album-consistent meagre musical abilities and the somewhat same-same'y style of these tracks. - XYSTER - Ardiendo de Pasión
A rough, screaming mix of speedy NWOBHM and cocky US Metal from the mid 80's, though not quite the cigar-on-par with their A-side effort. - ABADDON - Zhilah
Stressful and somewhat chaotic Speed Metal that's a bit too all over the place for its own good ...while still being generally, arguably, Good...? - ALUCARD - Tu Rostro
A 30 sec acoustic intro followed by some Killer Speed Metal-opening bars and then the Steel just keeps on giving, albeit but for a mere 2 sweet additional minutes... ALUCARD oould almost have been a Latin ANESTHESIA here. (Yes, I'm proclaiming it: "Escuadrón Metálico - Proyecto Dos" is Mexico's "Norway Rocks"!)
