It appears that you very much have the measure of my tastes DaN. Many thanks for the K.I.R. upload.
Holy guitar tone(s) Batman! Areas of the sonic spectrum are explored here not properly wrangled since the days of Sir Lord Baltimore's 'Kingdom Come' LP, & that fuzzy goodness isn't being employed to camouflage any shortcomings either, those guitarists can really play in a very pleasing & highly idiosyncratic fashion.
I've only heard it all the way through twice so far, so my short-hand may yet evolve into something a little more nuanced/informed/accurate/articulate, but if you asked me right now how it sounds i'd probably say that it's not unlike hearing Resistencia covering Flower Travelin' Band. Or is it vice versa?
Whatever way you slice it, masteful outré riffing abounds. A fine listen that i'm sure i'll be returning to with some regularity.
BTW, was the absence of word spacing in your review some deliberate in-joke that went right over my head perhaps, or the result of some undesired formatting snafu?

Amazing feature! Utterly depressing for the wantlist though! I spent three weeks there last year and didn't see a single one of these in the wild, most likely people are now hanging on to their copies... I still own Sahara, Brainwash, Victim, Viking and Rusty Blade on original lp but I doubt my collection is going to expand much more as far as original lp goes.

The rise of the most uncompromised and bestial Black/Death Metal scene in Malaysia and Singapore some years later sounds almost like a natural reaction to all these tight pants and nice ballad singing bands. You can't have that amount of cheesy mellowness (I'm talking about the ballads) without the world trying to balance it out somehow. No wonder some wouldn't even distribute their tapes in Singapore.
