Heads for the Dead prove once again that they are the best 'old-school' death metal band going. Their lyrics are drenched in horror and gore. Their music channels terror. They are the real deal. Hayduke X

Buying before listening. A friend just told me he heard it and liked it, and I was not aware they had released anything new since ‘93. Gotta show my support for Bay Area thrash metal.
Their 1988 debut Eternal Nightmare is one of the best thrash albums to come out of the original scene. Their ‘later’ stuff didn’t have the punch of the debut, largely due to the vocals, the merits of which are debated to this day. I’m in the LOVE THE FUCKING DEBUT VOCALS camp.
Let’s see what they’ve done now… Lute FP

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
