Album Review
Exciter – “Thrash Speed Burn”
Exciter has been around for quite a while (they released their debut Heavy Metal Maniac in 1983) and I feel they are synonymous with the old school thrash metal scene. That said, the title of this 2008 record, Thrash Speed Burn, is perfectly fitting as it’s exactly what you get when the album starts up; it’s a full-on fast, thrash metal record with blazing guitars at every turn.

Though this disc was released in 2008 (and re-released in 2011) it really seems to me like the songs were ripped right out of (or stuck in) the ’80s; and unfortunately not much has changed since the band’s heyday. In addition, the overall production is a bit harsh on the ears as well. Nevertheless, at the end of the day I still sort of enjoyed the Thrash Speed Burn, and while I won’t be cranking it every day, I know for sure I’ll revisit it on occasion.
