I think I drew the cover when I was 13!! Chainsaw are one of those short-lived yet wholesome metal acts who provide enough juddering menace and wailing to deserve inclusion. Strangely, the more you listen to the German speedsters, the more you get to appreciate the fury of this record, from the title cut, to the buzz of 'The Dungeon' with it's almost black metal gurgling, to my fave cut, 'He Knows You Are Alone'. Slightly dodgy production but what do you expect, it's 1985, you can smell the leather, and whilst this bunch of cavemen may look like an assembly of uncle's, the music is to be respected for what it is, skeletal, beer-swigging, burning thrash.
7/10
