RAZOR - Executioner's Song LP (Black Vinyl)
Executioner's Song increases the the power displayed on Armed and Dangerous in every possible way. amping up its vigilante speed thrash through bloodlust and mindless violence alone. The production is far more atmospheric and reverb-soaked than its predecessor, making songs that appeared previously sound far more menacing and powerful than the static production sound of their forebearers. "Hot Metal", "Fast and Loud" and "Take this Torch" blaze far hotter here than they did on Armed and Dangerous and the bass on the latter track shines through viciously on the chorus. "The End" returns and at least here it makes sense as an outro, but of all the tracks that should have been left to the dust, it should have been this one; it's a shame "Killer Instinct" or "Ball and Chain" did not receive the executioner's attention.
