keeping up the torrid pace of full-length releases in early years, Unleashed return with the third album [1993] in two calendar years, developing slightly more mid-paced, marching tempos, introducing classic heavy metal influences, but still barking loud and delivering plenty of lightning-paced, simple yet effective riffs nonetheless, with especially powerful drumming by Anders Schultz this time round; to make things even more diverse, along the historical topics, they included mythological and personal themes, aptly continuing to follow traditional extreme metal paradigm, sounding especially natural, confident and instantly recognizable, further reinforcing their distinctive identity; recent German re-issue comes with Judas Priest Breaking The Law cover and bonus promotional video clip of The One Insane
