with each new recording accomplished yearly the creepy stories by King get more and more refined, and this third, perhaps the most extravagant adventure [1988] in horror storytelling involves a ghosts-environed lunatic grandma into the limelight of events, as well as supernatural events of possession and murder happening inside the haunted Amon house - each time listening to this demonic heavy/speed metal, the shadows indeed start to move, where a theatrical voice of the frontman, especially the shrill falsettos, cause an ultimate triumph of impressive, distinctive and searing music, also epitomized by a solid instrumental performance with heaps of expressive guitar solos and loud, infectious rhythmics; recent re-issue comes with a remastered sound, The Invisible Guests and Bye, Bye Missy instrumental rehearsal bonuses
