Style: striking dynamic heavy speed metal

the third and crowning album by American entity, released way back in 1988, marks not only an important frontman change, introducing newcomer Joseph Comeau on vocals, but also the most ambitious creative undertaking in their short-lived history: having previously built the sound around fast-paced power metal, LL now strive for ultimate precision, uniting massive riffs, lightning-speed guitar attacks, technically accomplished solos by Paul Nelson and Tony Truglio, and meticulously crafted rhythmic arrangements, while Comeau's powerful, high-pitched yet rich voice, reminiscent of Bruce Dickinson's delivery, lends these songs greater force, clarity, and conviction; ten track record explores not only ominous science-fiction visions but also relevant issues facing humanity, blending bleak dystopian themes with memorable choruses and fierce, emotionally charged assault, where every instrument plays a vital role, while energetic cover of Rainbow Kill The King fits seamlessly into technically mature, cohesive, and uncompromising opus; first time ever - European digipak edition marks 35th anniversary of this recording and comes with sound remastered by Patrick W. Engel, as well as twelve page booklet
