Admittedly I don't know alot about these guys but they released the 'Deliver Us' EP in 1983 and then a live debut in '84, so this record groups together the bands alleged finest moments, a distant chasm of heavy metal which will appeal to fans of the NWOBHM and possibly stuff like Witchfinder General in that Warlord possess an uncanny ability to grind out phantom music from the deepest caverns. At times you can smell the naivety of the early '80s here as the act sift through various devilish topics, the vocals often monotone over the impressive guitars, waves of density come ashore, 'Child Of The Damned', 'Black Mass' and 'Lucifers Hammer' are not as corny as they sound and tracks such as 'Lost & Lonely Days' have an Ozzy feel. It's strange stuff without ever roaming into far and distant places although I'm pretty sure Warlord recorded these tracks in dense woodland...
6.5/10
