Tracklist side A:
SHINING BLADE - On The Battlefields
Their cult-status is oh so well deserved. Simply perfect Heavy Metal.
IRA - Mr. Mountain
Very Italian-sounding, original, moodfilled Metal. Luw it! (No relation to some new Italian DM band w/ the same name)
JESTER BEAST - Hell's Driver
Olde Speed a la Exciter!
BLACK DEAL - Black Deal
Great, galopping Metal instrumental in the good ol' Maiden-tradition. Later featured on their "Escape" anthology CD from 2009.
Tracklist side B:
BLACK EVIL - Hell's Rats
Simple but effective Heavy/Power(old).
ELEKTRADRIVE - Secrets Of The Holy Grave
Superb Melodic/Epic Metal w/ keys. Different from the LP version of '86.
GUNFIRE - Firecult
Raging olde Speed Metal perfection! Possibly better than any of the songs off their rare MLP.
WHISPERING BELLS - Trip
Leave it to the complete unknowns to deliver the best song on the album. Fist-in-the-air, Speed/Power glory!
