in all releases from 2005 onward (https://discogs.descargarjuegos.org/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 8 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 are back together again....................................................for the first time since 1985
