Hydra Vein is easily the third best British thrash band ever. Rather Death... even gives Onslaught a run for second place; had it been released a few years earlier they might even be discussed in the same breath. This is straight-ahead, no-nonsense thrash metal in the way only the late 80s could provide; any one looking for older (relatively) unknown thrash gems has a great one here. I would put this on the same level as Raging Steel, Torment in Fire and Endless Pain. It's too bad more people didn't hear this in '88, they might have gone somewhere.
