- in all releases from 2005 onward (https://www.discogs.com/it/Exciter-Heavy-Metal-Maniac/release/3028206 , https://www.discogs.com/it/Exciter-Heavy-Metal-Maniac/release/9735454 , https://www.discogs.com/it/Exciter-Heavy-Metal-Maniac/release/3622357 , https://www.discogs.com/it/Exciter-Heavy-Metal-Maniac/release/13112843 ) tracks 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,& 9 are direct copy from https://www.discogs.com/it/Exciter-Heavy-Metal-Maniac-Violence-Force/release/4053241 (including its strengths and weaknesses). Track 5 is a vinyl rip with a mastering/ripping/ or somewhat error at the end of the song (this song has the same conclusion of "Rising of the dead);tracks 10 & 11 again a vinyl rip (with a lot of clicks) and No. 11 starts badly and finish hardly mutilated and faded out .Interviews are taken from an old tape cassette recorded from a radio broadcast
- Edited 7 years agoLegend begins! Great disk, I personally like their next release better from a song perspective. This is one of the first thrash albums. Dan plays the drums like a banshee. Seeing them play live in 84' was a game changer for me. His drum set on the edge of the stage, etc. killer!! Nuff said. Get it or be soft.
- Yes, a true Metal CLASSIC. One of the originators of the Speed/Thrash genres, Exciters debut completely holds up and it rips! Original pressings remain a cheap bargain considering the quality of the music and historical importance to the genre. The early 80s were an amazing time for Metal!
- this exciter record was one of the first thrash metal records to ever be released back in late 1982, the songs on here are just incredible so i would assume if you are a thrash metal fan YOU OWN THIS RECORD as this has been one of my favorite metal albums since 1983 when i first heard this...................so glad the original 3 members are back together again....................................................for the first time since 1985
