Admittedly the second installment doesn't begin to healthily. Armored Saint, 3rd Stage Alert and Surgical Steel churning out standard metal, Obsession's speedy 'Shadows Of Steel' is predictable, but I'm digging Savage Grace and their basement production 'Scepters Of Deceit'. We also get an early apparition known as Trauma, who feature the legendary Cliff Burton, as well as the fist-punching Warlord and their anthemic rattle 'Lucifer's Hammer'. A couple more dodgy entrants in Dietrich and the overlong, crotch-ripping screams of Hyksos, but there's always going to be few lame ducks. Still, in any form, 'Metal Massacre...' would have been a good purchase. A decent cover considering the volumes produced some of the worst and most amateurish in metal!
6.5/10
