Hades - Resisting Success (1987)


Cool thrash act of musical talent, 'Resisting...' being one of a handful of quality albums released by the band over the years. Still sounds refreshing many years later. 'The Leader' is classy mid-tempo thrash, 'Nightstalker' a brooding, six-minute stomper which leads into a fury of high pitch vocals, buzzing riffs and crashing drums. The doomy edge of 'Widow's Mite' adds an element of darkness to the Hades sound even if it has a demo feel to it. 'Resist Success' spirals into play like an old Maiden cut but exists on cutting guitars. Pretty much no thrills thrash that worked at the time...and still does today.
