│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This release fueled the fire of the German speed ║ │
│║ metal invasion. It has enough balls to break ║ │
│║ buildings and is mind-blowingly fast. ║ │
│║ HelloweenÆs finest is found in this little ║ │
│║ mini-LP. This is before they become cheesed up ║ │
│║ and tamed down (when Weiki took over as the ║ │
│║ driving force). This is raw, fast, ugly, and ║ │
│║ heavy; what MetalÆs all about. You should bow ║ │
│║ your head in shame if you donÆt have this ║ │
│║ headbanging ecstacy of phenomenal proportions. ║ │
│║ Get ready to have your head blown straight out ║ │
│║ its socket, æcause here we go. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It kicks off with a long, lame intro (typical ║ │
│║ Helloween), and then comes Starlight. KaiÆs ║ │
│║ blood-curdling scream and blistering guitars rip ║ │
│║ you apart and from here on youÆre under their ║ │
│║ control. Thousands of deadly riffs will ║ │
│║ brutalize you till no endàwell, the end of the ║ │
│║ EP. Be warned though, Kai has a unique singing ║ │
│║ style. He has a raw, raspy voice, but can ║ │
│║ definitely hit the high notes and godly screams. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Murderer is more or less the same as Starlight, ║ │
│║ pure speed with no signs of remores. The solos ║ │
│║ on these first two tracks just simply shred. ║ │
│║ Plus, the bass is very audible. Warrior slows ║ │
│║ things down a bit, and offers an opening ║ │
│║ galloping riff (ala Kill æEm All). Also, the ║ │
│║ solo on Warrior is the best one so far. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Now, the song you all know and love (or sure as ║ │
│║ fuck should), the epic Victim of Fate. This is ║ │
│║ nearly 7 minutes of pure, grade A speed metal. ║ │
│║ Riffs fly by you faster than you can fathom and ║ │
│║ all exponentially crush you. It has the ║ │
│║ catchiest chorus on the EP. The song gets better ║ │
│║ as you continue to listen. The spoken part in ║ │
│║ the middle is pure evil, and then comes the ║ │
│║ first unhumanly, Rob Halford-worthy scream: You ║ │
│║ will burn in HEEELL!!! Following this is a ║ │
│║ flashy Kai solo. After that extraordinary solo, ║ │
│║ you get that damn great chorus again folowed by ║ │
│║ probably the best riff on the mini-LP. And then ║ │
│║ the boys devour your soul with another long ║ │
│║ virtuoistic solo. This killer of a song ends ║ │
│║ with another spine-tingling scream: You will ║ │
│║ DIIIEEE!!!! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If you survived that trip to Hell and back, then ║ │
│║ youÆre in for Cry For Freedom. Starting with ║ │
│║ acoustic guitars, youÆre thinking that you can ║ │
│║ finally regain your breath and health and that ║ │
│║ HelloweenÆs firm deathlock will loosen. Think ║ │
│║ again. After an emotional solo by Kai, the riffs ║ │
│║ come back, smashing your skull in. The highlight ║ │
│║ of this track is the 3 minutes worth of smoking ║ │
│║ solos. And to end the second best metal release ║ │
│║ of all time is another soaring scream that ║ │
│║ finally snaps your neck in two. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A myriad of aggressively fast riffs, earth- ║ │
│║ shattering drums, a lethal double-bass attack, ║ │
│║ extraordinary bass, and solos that impress and ║ │
│║ nearly outdo the gods themselves, Tipton and ║ │
│║ Downing, is what this Hell ride is all about. ║ │
│║ The all-mighty Lucifer himself commands you to ║ │
│║ buy this album and to bow down and worship its ║ │
│║ (and his) ever-lasting supremacy. And you must ║ │
│║ obey. ║ │
