Metal compilations used to be great...often these odd releases would introduce many a metaller to so many cool, unknown bands, so it was always a little confusing when volumes were released featuring mostly known acts. In this case, label Roadracer give us another terrible album title and cover, something they did with the weak 'Stars On Thrash' compilation, but thankfully most of the tracks are decent. Not sure why Motorhead's 'Eat The Rich' is on here, and King Diamond's 'Sleepless Nights' isn't one of his best, but Running Wild's 'Raging Fire' is a decent fist pumper, Sodom's 'Remember The Fallen' is mid paced, cleaner and more melodic than you'd remember Sodom for being, but for me it's the Mordred-esque Paradox, Rage and 'Invisible Horizons' and Atrophy who steal the show. Cool thrash which stands up well alongside the big boys of the album, such as Obituary, Sepultura Annihilator and the rather painful Helloween.
A good fun compilation.
6.5/10
