This album is far heavier than the previous Helstar album, with most of the riffs here being thrash metal. There is far more of an Iron Maiden styled gallop to all of the songs, while the lead guitar continues to remain impressive, and James Rivera emits some more of the best shrieks ever recorded.
The highlights include the title track, which starts off pretty slowly, and never really gets past slightly faster than midpaced, but nonethelesssets the tone for this album. "Suicidal Nightmare" has a New York style thrash break (i.e. Nuclear Assault) in the middle, and "Angel of Death" has a really cool solo at the end.
Everything on here is solid - there are no throwaway tracks, and all of the songs are memorable in their own way, though the similarity is much stronger than on the first album. Highly recommended.
