Stuffy Judas Priest-esque basement metal for the masses. Six tracks, 'Im Telling You' is a bit of a fist pumper, high octane metal, 'Devil In Disguise' opens slowly like some heavenly Zeppelin take-off and it's this kind of track which symbolises mid-'80s metal if you ask me. I'm digging the dark atmosphere, but nothing Satanic, but simply pondering like some weary traveller over the flames of a flickering forest fire. Well, maybe I'm just rambling now, but Excalibur are a decent act. 'Come On And Rock' is a crotch-ripper of a cut, see those heads banging down at the front, and the closer 'Haunted By The Shadows' (with another acoustic slo-burner of an intro) finishes off a rather nifty little EP as it descends into a fiery abyss of molten metal. Good stuff.
7/10
