HALLOWS EVE

Release Year: 2021
Artist Origin: USA
Style: gritty intense savage thrash metal

Slayer and Exodus were far from the only ones to push the speed metal to the point of no return in mid eighties, launching a brand new genre of extreme music - thrash: ambitious gang out of Atlanta was among the most skilled to pick up the pace, exploding with this debut full-length [1985], radiating waves of aggression via overdose of energy and a surprising musical maturity, pumping pure straight ahead metal all the way through, led by barking tone of Stacy Anderson, effectively enriched by stunning guitar leads, crowned by a complex expanding vision on the monumental title track, akin to heyday Agent Steel; recent European digipak edition comes with a newly mastered sound, four extra tracks nailed at 1984's rehearsals, and liner notes by bass player Tommy Stewart in the booklet
