This is Danish metal from the obscure netherworld - the sort of gem that every collector prays to find. 'Evil's Message' is an EP that boasts a mystical cover - although it looks like a scene plucked from an early '80s children's television drama - but musically this is an infectious little record that has a strong traditional heavy metal feel, and to sum it up one only has to lend their soul to the fantastic opener - a seven-minute rocker high on melody and rollicking hot-blooded metal. There is always something so genuine about these type of obscure recordings, but this gem has everything - from the catchy rhythms to those simple yet effective vocals of Pearl Angel.
This EP could well be some of the best twenty-minutes of your life, all wrapped up in those guitars which literally smoke and Freddie Wolf's raging drums, nowhere more potent than on the scorching 'Evil'.
Typically creaky and a tad bland at times, but a real slice of vintage.
7.5/10
