RIP metal vocal god JD Kimball, whose soaring vocals saturate this album, making it a wondrous heavy metal outing. Omen inspired so many later thrash and black metal acts with their mystical approach to metal. Those razor-sharp riffs and barbed-wire drums resulting in underated classics such as 'Ruby Eyes (Of The Serpent)', and the more eerie 'Don't Fear The Night'. Mesmerising metal for the masses back in the '80s, and sure to ring out as distant roars of thunder for many decades to come. Never forget this type of metal, because it formed the foundations to all that we hear to day. Great stuff.
