Really ? For real ? That's some album cover - but nothing about this record really makes sense, its amateurish quality making it endearing and oh so obscure. However, within the folds we find a half decent thrash record with some interesting structures to keep the sound refreshed. Yep, there's those chugs and those thrashy chants, but there's something so obscure about it all, check out the groove on 'Truth Or Dare', nice. Cold Steel (not a good name in the thrash game) take elements of the Bay Area and don't really do a lot with them but I've heard far worse over the years. If I'd seen this in '85 I would have snapped it up but I refuse to believe such a dodgy cover could have existed beyond the '80s!Saturday, 26 February 2011
