Slasher Dave has come with another instant classic.A lot of you would know Dave from the brilliant Acid Witch and here he delivers one of those rare Metal albums that not only shreds but is insanely catchy at the same time.Starting with the hilarious intro that really gets you in the mood for this,the album delivers one track after another of real old fashion Metal that you could say brings the fun back.This is one of those ultimate party albums that you can down beers to as well have a good old headbanging session.The thing that sets this apart from many other releases is the combination of styles that somehow Slasher Dave has managed to blend so well.Death Metal,Doom Metal,Traditional 70's/80's Metal and 70's Rock all influence and make their mark on the songs.Like Acid Witch,the Horror Movie theme is evident on most of the album complete with Deathly vocals.I know some folks out there find the vocals a bit off in places but i cant imagine it any other way.There is killer riffs and solo's galore and due to the fact the songs for the most part are really pretty short,it leaves you wanting more after every listen.Sure this is tongue in cheek stuff but only someone like Slasher Dave could come up with tunes like this and make it work.For the most part there is a early 80's underground Thrash Metal feel to these songs but when its mixed with the Death Metal gurgles and growls it really makes for something unique.As with most of Razorback Records CD's,the artwork is excellent.The album cover as you can see above makes you want to own this bastard as soon as you see it.Like a soundtrack to a horror movie that is cheesy as hell but pure enjoyment all the same,this is a album i been wanting to hear for years.Its fun and it shreds.9/10
