Here is a kickin' metal album from the early years of Bride. Lot's of heavy guitars, fast tunes and screaming vocals. This album is a real classic. Much more polished and has better production than their previous Show No Mercy. This one contains their ever-popular "Hell No." I think the "two guitarists" element of this album really makes it stand out (second guitarist, Steve Osborne). Don't get me wrong, Troy is an excellent guitarist, but I like the diverse guitar work on this album. Every time I listen to this disc I realize I forgot how great it is! In the liner notes, there are explanations of all the songs. The songs are very poetic and dark...artsy & theatrical. "Hereos" is very theatrical, you can almost picture all the spoken lines actually taking place. The album ends kind of strange with a bizzare piano and some screaming. I asked Dale Thompson about this and he told me it was actually a "joke" that their producer put on the album. M8 re-released this album. I still own an original on Pure Metal, it's "must have" for real Bride fans! Gary's Best songs: "Hell No," "Fire And Brimestone," "Heroes." (Review by Gary)
