Cool cover cool record - stompin' '80s metal boasting staggering solo's and swaggering grooves. This escapes the basement which confined so many obscure '80s metal acts, and instead of being stuffy as one would expect it's quite grandiose, awash with Coverdale-esque sultry vocals and lots of lyrics about the night and the streets! However, this isn't some dodgy pastiche of better bands, I sense some intelligence behind its construction, nearly every track rates from very steady to very good, the band knowing how to craft a strong metal machine. 'Victim Of The Night' isn't just formulaic but instead comes across as a powerhouse of a track. I like this sort of stuff - metal that stands on its own two feet even without success. Good on Razormaid for havin' the balls to rock...Wednesday 28 December 2011
