Tracklist side A:
- VANADIUM - Run Too Fast
Off to a great start with this powerful metal track that sounds quite Teutonic, save for the distinctively Italian keyboards. Shortened intro compared to album version. - GOW - I Want It Now
Sounds like MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP but without the catchiness or talent. - HALLOWEEN - It's Not Love
Scrappy cross between DOKKEN and DANGER ZONE circa 1984. Unfortunately too much of the former to really get your blood pumping. - ANGELKILLERS - A Ticket For Hell
Speed/thrash with screeching vocals and guitars. - SABOTAGE - Nightkiller
Unremarkable speed metal at first, but there are hints of insanity lurking beneath that are truly wonderful.
Tracklist side B:
- SKANNERS - Starlight
Great German style power metal with hints of various NWOBHM bands that have Witch in their names. - DANGER ZONE - I Can't Live Without You
Catchy melodic metal. If you forget for a moment that this is the same band who released the killer power metal MLP 3 years prior, it's not bad. - STRANA OFFICINA - Metal Brigade
Solid power/speed metal, a bit like early SAVAGE GRACE with rough vocals. Live version. - NUCLEAR SIMPHONY - One Day Be The Same
When VENOM was doing this kind of hard rock based proto-thrash at least it was something new.
