The debut album from Canadian speed metal band Exciter. Boy this is a fist in the face-metal album for sure! Damn good songs and just full blast all through but anyway done with a great feeling for rhythms and sheer power. A classic and damn good metal album. Get it or die!

I saw Exciter at the 2012 Sweden Rock Festivaland I really enjoyed the show. Of course it can be a little too much listening to their full speed power without mercy for an whole hour but it was worth it for sure!

Oddly enough the band at the time of the recording of this album only consisted of three members, the drummer was also the vocalist which I see as an incredible task listening to the speed of the drumming! The band got a record contract with Mike Varney from Shrapnel Records in 1982 after sending him a demo. Varney include a track from the band on the US Metal vol.2 compilation the same year and after that got to record a full album. Interesting fact is that Heavy Metal Maniacwas released a few months before Metallica's album Kill 'Em All.
