Holy Terror's "Terror & Submission"

First Post October 08, 2020 08:26 AM

Although Holy Terror's 1987 debut album "Terror & Submission" is generally regarded as a thrash release, I actually don't think that's an entirely accurate description because more than half of the tracklisting sits more comfortably under the speed metal banner in my opinion with another one & a half tracks taking a more traditional heavy metal direction. Even some of the thrashier tracks include elements of classic metal like melodic guitar harmonies that you wouldn't normally expect from a thrash band. There are even a couple of choruses that remind me very much of power metal which was something I wasn't expecting. I'd like to have the thrash metal tag removed & replaced with speed metal.
