As stuffy as a coffin, Exorcist, from the USA, have production values of a graveyard, but somehow bellow out a gem of a record that would certainly appeal to anyone seeking something deeply dark from the chasm of mid-'80s thrash. Despite it's rather bad zombiefied cover, the record certainly has a gloomy edge, similar in vein to Onslaught's creaky 'Power From Hell' in that it offers plenty of satanic imagery, i.e. 'Possessed', 'Burnt Offerings', 'Execution Of The Witches' etc and vocally the growler at the helm gurgles like some evil preacher ranting from the foggy woods. I'm sure this is a pretty obscure record, however an lp that would no doubt have thrilled fifteen-year old kids craving something esoteric and clandestine to frighten their parents.
6/10
