'Black Roses' was like the lesser known sibling of the brilliant 'Trick or Treat' movie. It was certainly the least talented family member too as a film - but as a soundtrack it was quite a decent affair, showcasing some of the '80s more accomplished metal bands, ranging from King Kobra, Bang Tango, Tempest and Hallows Eve. Most of the tracks on offer were good rockers, with the Black Roses band (consisting of several known metal musicians such as Carmine Appice, Alex Masi and Mark Free) rocking out four of the tracks on the soundtrack, the best of these being the melodic 'Paradise (We're On Our Way')' and the fiery 'Soldiers of the Night'. Elsewhere Hallows Eve offer the thrash assault of 'D.I.E.' which appeared on their excellent 'Death & Insanity' opus, whilst 'Tempest's 'Streetlife Warrior' is a cool, fizzy metal number albeit rather formulaic. Even so, 'Black Roses' soundtrack is a far better ride than the movie
7/10
