Strong Arm of the Law.......2007-07-24

This is my favorite SAXON Lp/Cd ever released by the band
This is Saxon at their finest and they were strong here, They still are in 2007, however this era has a special place in my heart as this LP was one of the earliest lp's that really played NWOBHM at its finest
Its a must buy for any hard rock fan

Classic Rock.......2007-05-15

Great album. If you don't know Saxon at this time, then why are you here? For me, this album and 'Wheels of Steel' are it. This is what I call European metal. Its raw, edgy, and just some sweet rock and roll. Pass the bowl.

A Diamond Worth Digging For.......2007-01-26

You can forget the whole Exhorder/Pantera "who bit who's style" it doesn't matter one bit. What does matter is that all self respecting thrash/metal fans need to own this two for one pack as both Slaughter in the Vatican and The Law are two of the best metal records you've never heard, and that needs to change my friends, NOW!!!!

These two albums rip from beginning to end. No filler, just straight up metal to get violent to. My theory on why Exhorder never quite "made it big" is that their lyrical focus was quite a bit more brutal than that of Pantera's. While Pantera was singing about being the Cowboys from Hell, and Primal Concrete Sledges, Exhorder was singing about killings in the holiest of places, homicide, and a lust for [...] (not quite the makings of a top 20 hit you know what I'm saying?). The music while similar to Pantera is actually quite a bit more brutal and technical as well, this band probably would have had more in common with early Sepultura or Death than Pantera if you really dissect the music. Yeah the grooves are there, the vocals are similar, but for the most part this is much more of a thrash/early death metal hybrid. Not too mention Chris Nail is doing things on the kit Vinnie Paul never dreamed of doing on C.F.H (no disrespect to Big Vin).

The bottom line is, all we can do at this point is buy these two records,praise Exhorder for giving us some of the best metal ever released, and hope for a reunion so we can get the pits swirling.

Make no mistake, if you are old school you will slap yourself for not getting these records earlier. It is without a doubt one of the best $20 purchases I've ever made, and I firmly beleive that if you do the same you will agree.........Exhorder is no f'ing joke.

Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the Greatest.......2006-10-21

I dont write alot of reviews on here because I figure whats the point? However I am forced to respond to the first reviewer on here who said that,"The songs are sloppy and barely digestible in comparison. I realized that comparing these two bands is like comparing lemons and oranges. If Pantera mimics Exhorder, then Exhorder mimics Slayer." First of all this guy is either a ingrate or he has no knowledge of the history of metal. First of all Pantera did mimic Exhoder's sound and were very influenced by there sound. Nothing wrong with that, I enjoyed both bands however to say that Exhorder's songs were sloppy is like comparing a Geo Metro to a Porche, its just ignorant. Exhorder were one of the tightest and most crushing metal bands that have ever played. The Law is a masterpiece and any metal fan who truly appreciates true ferocity is going to like this band.

This is ok........2006-09-07

The issue of originality surrounding this band and Pantera has long been discussed and argued. Some will say that a direct influence (if not a mimicry) of Exhorder can be heard in the latter.
At first I was a little disappointed with Pantera when I heard of this, but then I thought maybe Exhorder would be an even BETTER band. So I got the albums and listened. While some similiarities are noticeable, these albums don't reach much more than metal mediocrity. The songs are sloppy and barely digestible in comparison. I realized that comparing these two bands is like comparing lemons and oranges. If Pantera mimics Exhorder, then Exhorder mimics Slayer.
Pantera achieved a level of success because of their mastery in musicianship and intricate composition. Not just because of genre or a "rip-off".
Exhorder's inability to achieve the level of success reached by Pantera is attributed to things such as a an apparent hyper-vulgarity of album covers but this is unlikely considering the success of bands like Cannibal Corpse who were shock based.
If you disagree, go back and listen to your Ozzy-era Black Sabbath or Van Halen albums and you'll find the elements of "groove", etc that many accuse Pantera of stealing.
Exhorder are from New Orleans as is Phil Anselmo, lead singer of Pantera and while they came across each other quite often it's likely that this style of music originated in the clubs and smoky dark bars of N.O. and not an Exhorder member's garage.
While the work on these albums could be considered admirable, especially to a thrash metal fan, I wouldn't buy them expecting any justification of this discussion.

Untouchable........2005-12-20

Slaughter In The Vatican is the best metal album ever recorded. Period.

Sounds like a bold claim, right? Well, buy this disc and see for yourself.

As someone from the New Orleans area, I can say that there was no question at the time that Phil and Pantera took cues from Exhorder when recording Cowboys and Vulgar. That was pretty much accepted as fact "back in the day" on the scene.

This is real metal. Simply untouchable by any metal band of the past or yet to come.

If you are a fan of Exhorder, you may also want to check out New Orlean's Crowbar as well. Same attitude and sound, different tempo.

Listen with your ears..........2006-06-22

I have to laugh when music reviewers critique a bands "new look" instead of their music. And I have to laugh when the hardcore fans of any band say a band, "sold-out", simply because they refuse to make the same album over and over. The people who trash this album because of the title and the new "look" are NOT listening to the album.

This is a true Styper album through and through. Killer guitar crunch, guitar harmonies, vocal harmonies, and Christian lyrics are all here. Stryper was never preachy in their lyrics and I appreciated that. The Christian lyrics are certainly throughout this entire album. I'm not sure what other reviewers are talking about when they said, "this is Styper's secular album", which is totally ridiculous. I'm not a Christian but have always been an admirer of sheer talent and these boys have boat loads of talent. Christian lyrics or not - this album contains some fantastic songs and growth as writers and musicians. It appears some fans want the band to remake the same album over and over. If you want that, pick-up an AC/DC album.

The song writing has evolved but still has the aggressiveness they were known for. And as a guitarist, Oz Foxx simply shreds and the band wails in typical rock n' roll form (Not That Kind of Guy is reminscent of Hot for Teacher). Oz even got a huge compliment from the master Steve Vai for his guitar work on this album. People, quit listening with your eyes and listen with your ears! This album isn't perfect but it's better than anything that was released in the early grunge 90's nightmare. Long live Stryper...

ONE OF STRYERS BEST!!!.......2005-11-27

What's this....two of the guys have beards. They have a producer who has worked with top rock acts like Dokken and Kix. They have a song called Against The Law. This from a band who is Christian Rock/Metals #1 selling artist at the time with videos on MTV that reached millions of people that would not otherwise listen to "Christian Rock". This from a band that toured with rock bands such as White Lion,Jetboy,Hurricane,Loudness and many more. Oh yeah, they headlined the tours by the way. Something must be wrong here as most Stryper fans seem to dislike this album since it is not straight forward as the others were in being a Christian album. This album got overlooked and the record company went bankrupt as well. My opinion of this album....

It's one of the best Stryper albums ever put out!! The album has a nice punch and a somewhat rough BIG sound that the producer helped the band achieve. Roberts drums sound better here than they ever have. Guitars are also loud and Michaels vocals shine on this one as well. You have a great opening song(Against The Law). You have a cover song(Shining Star), rockers, ballads and plenty of positive lyrics. As for a straight forward song that shows these guys did not shy from their roots listen to "Rock The Hell Out Of You". The band also shows more of a creative side with their songwritting. Relationships(Two Bodies),being faithful(Two Time Woman), peace in the world(All For One) and decision making(Caught In The Middle).

Don't judge a book by it's cover and rumors you might have heard. This is a great rock album with positive lyrics. Like most fans I started with To Hell With The Devil and then bought the older releases. These are all good albums. Against The Law is the bands way of having some fun playing music they like. I think they needed this "break". Im sure most wanted a sequel to In God We Trust. This album should have been a big success and it is the one I listen to most from the band today.

Highlights are "Against The Law", "Two Time Woman", "Shining Star"

This is the 1st Stryper cd i bought and i liked it a lot: ****1/2.......2005-10-22

Well, What drew me to checking out this Stryper cd first instead of any of the ones before or after it is the fact that i heard it was the hardest cd that Stryper ever put out. And i also was drawn to it because i heard it was more aggressive than the others. I also heard a lot of bad things about this cd [Mostly from fellow christians saying that this is where Stryper sold out and went secular]. Well, From listening to this cd, I concluded three things: 1.) This cd is nowhere near as bad as its reputation suggests. 2.) Stryper does rock and i can only imagine what they're cds [The ones that have their christianity in tact] sound like. 3.) I will definitely be buying more Stryper cds in the near future! Back to my review of this cd:
It's true, Stryper's christianity is lacking on this cd [Except for maybe the final track, ''Rock the hell out of you''], But, all's still well. It's still good clean fun old school heavy metal. There is plenty of good guitar work to find on this album and Michael Sweet does a good job on the vocals. Even though i'm now a christian, The fact that this is basically a secular attempt by a christian heavy metal band doesn't really bother me that much [Well, I'll be honest, I do wish they had just a few songs on here that dealt with god in some kind of way]. The best songs on here are The ''Shining star'' cover [The best song on here and they amazingly flipped this 70s song into a heavy metal song], ''Lady'' [A great, memorable ballad], ''Rock the hell out of you'', ''Caught in the middle'', and ''Two time woman''. I'd definitely reccomend this cd to any rock fan [Christian or not]. Though these guys are a christian band, I'm not upset at the fact they took a little change of pace on this album. They were being honest about it. They chose to let out the fact that they wanted to do something a little different. But don't fear, Christians, Stryper is back now and they're doing christian metal again and they have a new album, Called ''Reborn''. Before you believe the negative things said about this album, Give it a try first. It doesn't cost much and i'd say it's definitely worth owning. Definitely underrated!

AWESOME ALBUM.......2005-09-18

St. Francis of Assisi once said, "Go out and preach the gospel ... if you must, use words."
Stryper took that to heart in their most brutally honest album to date.
Against the Law is a strict departure from previous albums. First and foremost, they got rid of the yellow and black spandex, and got the perms out of their hair.
Even better, their music and lyrics got so much better.
While many Christians will call the previous sentence blasphemous, they forget honesty works better than shallowness--which was the case in their previous album.
This is an honest album. This is a musical album. This is an angry album.
It starts off with the title track, "Against the Law" which shouts back at the judgmental attitude so many Evangelicals have put upon them:
I tried it your way/Was that good enough?/You got to point your finger/You think you know it all/I want you to remember/I don't live for you 'cause I'm against your law
Sure, it's a modern summary of Galatians, but it's true.
Frankly, though, that is why this album is better. True, all spiritual overtones are gone--but it is good, clean rock'n'roll.
The songs reveal their own struggles against bad relationships (Two-Time Woman), sexual temptation (Not That Kind of Guy), and marriage (Two Bodies One Mind One Soul). The best one was Lady, their best ballad that proved they could write a simple love song (it would have been a Top-Ten Single if Enigma would have promoted it before its bankruptcy).
So, if you want good rock music without being preached at, get it. If you want something spiritually edifying, buy a Petra album.
And for all those Christians who believed they sold out and started sinning, find me the Scripture that proves it.

second to the worst stryper cd.......2005-08-26

this is a far cry different than the stryper of old this cd lacks the magic of their last works of art. songs lack depth. this wasnt my favorite stryper cd. i rank this & reborn as their worst cd's.

awesome 70's Rock and Roll.......2005-03-18

I still have this album on the vinyl disc that I bought back in college in 1974. Now I am finally going to order it on cd. Thats how good it is! I have searched all over for a copy and finally found it here. It truly is classic rock and roll from an age that defined real rock. The guitar work is powerful and engaging, you will be playing air guitar along with the songs in no time. For those longing for the days of honest, hard driving, kickin' rock and roll, BUY THIS ALBUM!

Unknown band, killer cd..........2004-11-25

I bought this album when I was kid for a buck from the cutout bin because I thought the cover looked cool. Needless to say even back then I was blown away by the music on Outside The Law. Now into my forties this is a welcome reissue on cd. Great guitar work, solid songwriting(a mixture of classic rock, progressive rock with a lot of melody thrown in) and the total efforts of a band creating their own masterpiece make for a great buy. There probably aren't alot of people who have heard this cd but if you want to add a classic seventies rock cd to your collection then pick this baby up. I already own Epitaph/Stop, Look and Listen on cd. They are good efforts but Outside The Law was the release where Epitaph shined the most. Pick it up!

Lost and Found.......2002-12-12

Epitaph's "Outside the Law" is one of the most profound rock albums of its time. I first ran across this album in 1977 under the Billigsgate label. The guitar work is phenominal. The title track is truly unmatched by the groups later works and its masterful guitar rifts can transport the listener literally Outside the Law! The some tracks on this album reveal an almost German Beatles aura. It is surprising that tunes like "Woman" and "Big City" never made US airplay. I highly recommend this album to anyone who is still stuck in the late 60's and early 70's or desires to be.

Great Guitar Work.......2002-11-17

This cd is not your average european band from the 70s. (ie Focus,Golden Earring, etc.)This band has good range, from ballads to the classic extended double guitar rockers. The fact that this was an import is the only reason this band was not bigger or more well known. A diamond in the rough, and I was pleasantly suprised to find it available on cd.

A Long Time Comming...........2002-10-19

All I can Say is. Check this CD out. Its a hard to come by item.
And a Classic Rock essential. If you were rocking in the Late 70's you would understand. Good Hunting!!!!

Great CD.......2007-07-12

I only give 5 stars if I love every song on a CD. With that being said, four stars is a must-have in my book. This CD rocks. Saxon was and is one of those bands that is very underated. A Heavy Metal fan will appreciate this band. If you like Sabbath, if you like old Rainbow (Dio Years), if you like Motorhead, you will like Saxon. My favorite song is Dallas 1PM especially when they break into the radio recording of JFK's assassination. I also like 20000 feet, Heavy Metal Thunder, Strong Arm of the Law, Hungry Years, Wheels of Steel, and To Hell And Back Again

If you are looking for a commercial band, don't look here because Biff Byford and the boys get down in the dirt and rock.

Good deal for a great underrated metal band.......2006-07-13

Like their counterparts UFO, Britain's Saxon gained a healthy cult audience in the US but never quite broke big, ala Judas Priest or Iron Maiden, although they should have, as this double disc testifies.
Like other bands of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Saxon featured a duel guitar lineup, with ripping leads courtesy of Paul Quinn and Biff Byford's classic voice, not to mention lyrical variety uncommon to most metal bands.
"Wheels Of Steel" is classic metal, harder than early '70's metal with the exception of Sabbath, and a harbinger of the Bay area thrash that was soon to come.
"Strong Arm of The Law" shows off some blues roots (Hungry Years, title track, a nifty chord progression in "Taking Your Chances" and prototypical thrash metal in "Hell And Back Again" and "20,000 Feet."
That this outfit is still around is a credit to their craft and makes one wonder why they didn't bust the US wide open. It's our loss.

Two of their defining moments .......2006-06-10

I think most people will agree that this is the "classic" Saxon sound. They were finding their feet on their debut "Saxon" but with their second album Wheels Of Steel they really managed to hone their sound into something timeless. The following album Denim And Leather was excellent as well, and they capped off their winning streak with the high energy The Eagle Has Landed Live Album.

However in response to a reviewer below who said that everything after 1984s Crusader album was garbage, I don't really agree. From 1985s Innocence Is No Excuse up to and including 1992s Forever Free they have a bit more polished sound, generally less exciting songs but overall the albums from that period have about a 50/50 split between good songs and weaker songs. To me though they've staged a real comeback satarting with 1995s Dogs Of War. The songs are harder although they still have hooks and melodies without encroaching into their late 1980s pop metal phase.

Personally I like most phases Saxon, including their more "pop metal" phase, but I understand that not everyone may feel that way. If you prefer rawer, more headbanging rock then this Wheels Of Steel/ Strong Arm Of The Law double pack is probably your best introduction to Saxon. I could also recommend anything from 1995 onwards too if you like the basic Saxon sound;

Dogs Of War -1995 (although still a bit of the pop-metal evident)
Unleash The Beast-1997 (with darker themes)
Metalhead-1999
Killing Ground-2001
Lionheart-2004

STRAIGHT FORWARD HEAVY METAL!!.......2003-12-19

This is the band that put straight , raw metal in your face and best part is they know how to play. These are two of the best cd's put out by saxon along with the eagle has landed live.So if your tiered of d tuned garbage, go back to the old school of classic metal and buy this cd.

Stron Arm of the Law.......2003-04-28

Strong arm of the law is excellent album, if you like 80's metal. It's a classic. Very listenable and solid. Wheels of Steel is OK.

I give Strong Arm a 4. Wheels of steel is more like a 2.5 as far as I'm concerned.

But Strong Arm the Law is very hard to find, so basically Wheels is like the "free bonus CD" included in the package.

ive been a fan of genitorturers for awhile all their albums have been great over the years along with this one but it leaves you wanting more only because it has three new songs and the rest are live songs from previous
albums which are good i would give it a three

The one horrible thing about the Genitorturers..........2004-05-18

is that this seven tracks mini album from 2002 is still their latest CD, 2 years are a very long time for Gen addicts who suffer and crave for more! The album title is really fitting: Flesh Is The Law... and Gen does strictly obey and enforce this rule! The music is somehow in-between the industrial-metal approach of their first album "120 Days Of Genitorture" and their follow up "Sin City" which is different in style, more industrial and techno and less metal. Flesh Is The Law is closer to the harder debut album while the industrial edge isn't neglected at all. So it fits perfectly in the new century without coming even close to the mainstream or nu-metal crap. The beautiful and talented Gen and her troop may be crucified by moralists, but what they do is just being refreshing honest and this puts the band always in a league on the top, a notch above the stage roleplayers who simply think "sex sells". Flesh is the law so she believes, and if it makes her a lecher bitch, then so be it. She's rather the public enemy #1 for telling the truth than a hypocrite. If you can deal with that, THE GENITORTURERS are for you, otherwise you can always opt for Britney Spears. But give it at least a try with them, you won't regret it!

"GREAT METAL FROM JAPAN".......2004-05-28

Best Loudness album of all! I got into Loudness right from their early beginnings. I originally bought the albums back in the early 80's and later bought the CD's when they were released. The INPORT price is well worth it. Their first 4 releases were in Japanese but the music is so good that it just doesn't matter. My favorite Loudness song is on this album-"Speed". This is one of the best songs ever!! Akira is one of the best Metal guitarists of all time and on this song, it shows! If you don't know Loudness, start here or with their second release, "Devil Soldier", another outstanding album! If you don't have Loudness in your Metal collection, you're missing out!

Second best studio album........2003-02-05

Disillusion is their best studio album. This album is a close second and was the studio album preceding Disillusion. If you really like this album then you will not be disappointed by Disillusion and visa versa. If you like the later and harder ( and more basic and dull ) version of Loudness then this probably is not for you.

GREAT !!!!.......2001-07-31

THis is LOUDNESS't third album, and it is one of their best ever!!! THe songs shine, real metal classics. Altough the song tittles are in English, the album is sung in Japanese. Fantastic piece of metal, much better than everything they released when they tried to go pop-glam.

Skull-crushing Satanic Death Metal at its best........2004-10-17

Recipe for Severed Savior:
Take Cannibal Corpse, Incantation, Immolation, and Deicide and throw them in a blender. Chop, dice, and liquify until the mixture turns a sickly red/green. Pour into CD player. Turn up bass and max out volume. Sit back with a bible. At the start of the music, rip the bible in half and throw it on the floor. Growl at the top of your lungs while staring at the sky with both middle fingers extended in defiance. Repeat.

This is by far the most brutal, technical album I own. This album is everything a death metal album should be. The musicianship and vocals are unmatched in Satanic Death Metal circles. I think the word "brutal" gets thrown around a lot. Hell I see people on here calling freakin' Killswitch Engage "the most brutal band in the world." UGGGH. Severed Savior are one of the few bands that can back up an album title like "Brutality is Law." I could go on and on, but if you're any kind of death metal fan worth his/her weight in entrails, you need to buy this album right now.

Not another death clone.......2004-02-24

To anyone that thinks these guys are normal death metal, think again. This is the best grindcore this side of the US. Dave Culross' drumming is better than ever...if you have heard any of his stuff before this makes it that much more worth it. The lyrics are funny and the vocals are awesome. Take my word for it, buy it.

Unrelenting onslaught of cacophonous death metal.......2004-02-15

To cut a long story short, Hateplow is just one of a ubiquitous clan of side projects splintering off in the Sunshine State, this one numbering members that have served time in various regional death metal outfits but have all at one time or another found themselves hammering out tunes for Malevolent Creation. And that band=s not a bad reference point. This isn=t the kind of project where band members step outside the nuclear family to indulge in aural affairs with individuals of divergent interests. No, this is more akin to incest. The only essential difference between the two bands is Hateplow=s emphasis on high octane grind, performed at breakneck speed and, of course, excessive volume.

Efforts of this sort walk a tight rope; one slip, whether it=s mediocre production or an unconvincing singer, and the band slip into the abyss of mediocrity, (hopefully) never to be heard from again. But you have to hand it to Hateplow. All bases loaded, Monsieur Plow up to bat, home f**king run! There is nothing less than devastating during A...Survival@=s half hour of relentless pummeling, just a blinding white rage that seeps into the pores and has you pounding the walls to the sound of involuntary neighborly accompaniment. These guys aren=t play makers, they=re enforcers, willing to throw down at the first available opportunity, and you wonder at the end of the recording session for this album who exactly was left standing.

great death metal.......2002-09-25

This malevolent creation with a different bassist and vocalists. This cd came over some issues with modern times, like shatterd by disease. Which is about a guy who gets aids, then has sex with as many women he could to "to shatter their lives by disease". Incarcerated with intent to sell is another great song. Which deals with the band being pulled over caught with some herb.

This cd diserves five stars because it dose.

Extremely fast and brutal.......2001-12-14

This is one of the fastest death metal album I've ever heard. Sustained ultra-fast drumming and lightning fast barking keep the brutality blazing the whole way through (except for perhaps the last song which slows things down a bit). The drummer (ex-Malevolent Creation, who I thought were really fast) makes quick changes in his rhythyms, and is absolutely inhuman when he gets the blast beats going. He is one of my favorite drummers, along with Pete Sandoval, Richard Christy, and Gene Hogan.

Sadly, there are weaknesses here. The bass is indiscernible most of the time (except during mini-bass solos), and even the guitars get swallowed up, in deference to the vocals and percussion. Not that it doesn't work overall, but if you like strong lead guitars or cool solos (a la Trey Azagthoth), this is not the album for you. However, if you want straight brutality and ultra-speed, go buy it immediately!

killer death metal man!!.......2001-07-05

this is without a doubt, one of the best damn death metal bands to come out in a while. awesome musicianship, guitar and drum wise. the lyrics aren't your typical death metal lyrics; they don't talk about satanism or blood n gore (even though i love those types of lyrics too!) but man do these lyrics pack a mean punch! The lyrics are very straight forward dealing with various subjects like the spread of STDS (Shattered by Disease), carelessness (Should I Care?), bullying at school and the result (Outcast), and my personal favorite: a dude's addiction to his porn collection (Addicted to Porn). hahaha! But anyway if you like death metal check these guys out, you won't regret it! Other death metal bands that i think rule: Dying Fetus, Cryptopsy, Nile, Exhumed, Immolation, and Skinless!
