Reviews
Edited 26 days agoMy copy has 2 labels punched in on top of each other on Side 1 and one is completely off centre meaning it covers some of the grooves in the last song Skullkrusher (10 to 20 seconds). Anyone else with this issue? Maybe worth adding a missprint version for this one?! Either than that the record sounds great.
My copy didn't come with the lyrics sleeve, guess thats why the price was low
The cover for this album looks like something off of Mortal Kombat 4 or before the 4th game.- A perfect thrash metal album. The only album of the Big 4 that I would also give that award to is Ride the Lightning. Thrashes beautifully and gets epic too. Never boring and never a downer. My favorite of the many great Overkill albums. The European pressing sounds wonderful too!
