Oh yes, more '80s thrash, Hallows Eve built themselves quite a reputation but never quite made the grade despite appearing on an early 'Speed Kill' compilation alongside some big names. It's a shame also that on this debut the cover is even worse than expected, the band opting for a sketch of an executioner that looks as if it's been sketched by a child, thankfully though, the brand of thrash is pretty intense, never really drawing for breath, creating many a dark atmosphere for teenagers to headbang along to, but twenty-eight minutes is awfully short for a record. 'outer Limits' has a more galloping classic metal feel, the vocals far clearer on this offering but for me the anthem 'Metal Merchants' and hyper 'There Are No Rules' are decent thrash melodies, shame the album covers caused so much suffering!
6/10
