Okay, so 'Evil Invaders' may be one of the worst album covers in metal history, but as soon as the opening chords of 'Nowhere Fast' slice through your flesh, and the Slayer-ish buzz lifts you up off the floor, you'll be gagging for more. Released on Attic Records, 'this Razor offering could well have been recorded in stuffy loft, 'Cross Me Fool' has a basement feel, but hurtles at a blistering pace, vocally rather incomprehensible, but this adds to the rusty menace. The title cut is a pounding chug, crashing drums and that cutting riff, whilst with 'Speed Merchants', I think we know what we're gonna get here. A balls to the wall thrash record indeed, Razor were good enough to last several albums and thrashers would have been fulfilled by such energy and reckless abandon.
7/10
