Here we get a newly remastered edition of 1992's Kill After Kill from Exciter. I know I refer to a lot of this as thrashy. That's certainly accurate, and by the time this album was recorded, thrash was a thing. Factually, though, Exciter were considered one of the original speed metal bands, and that genre predates (and was one of the influences on) thrash. I will say that, despite the remaster, the sound here definitely has a real indie metal vibe to it. So much metal at the time had that kind of production. It is not great, but it is what one expects from that era when talking about the more underground bands. That said, the opener probably suffers the most, seeming to be missing a lot of the bottom end. All in all, though, this is a strong disc that works well in this release.
