Am I the only person who thinks that Satan is a cool name for a band ? This creaky New Wave of British Heavy Metal band weren't in the habit of breaking any boundaries with their stuffy, basement metal, and many have scoffed at such gloom. Sure, the intro sounds like something from a dodgy horror film, and those vocals appear drowned out by the fuzz of nothing, but I can still dig this sort of antique sounding material. 'Trial By Fire', 'Blades Of steel' and 'Break Free' are all pretty uneventful, 'Hunt You Down' and 'No Turning Back' as stale as that crusty roll you left in the bread bin, but this stuff can be endearing, especially when purchased on vinyl back in the day. Not a complete bad egg, I still visit this experience once in a while even if it's just to stare at the cover to pretend that the Devil himself is behind that moniker. Mind you, putting the actual record on is a far less rewarding experience I have to admit.
