Damn, listening to this album from White Tower makes me feel like I dropped a tab of Purple Microdot and took a trip back to 1983. These guys have managed to capture all of the best aspects of early 80s metal and wrapped it in a modern production to create an authentically nostalgic collection of songs that kick ass. I love death metal but to me, the early 80s before the Sunset Strip and hair metal ruined the scene this style was my first true passion.

I purchased Phantom's debut album Dead Or Alive back in 1987 and I liked it but it wasn't one of my favorites. Fast forward to May of 2024 and I came across this album 31 years after its release I listened to it and thought to myself, "Where was this at 35 years ago? I would've jammed it repeatedly." As it stands I still think this is kind of a cool collection of songs so I wanted to share it for other old-school power metal fans to check out.

8. Turbocharged

Witness: -[*]-
I found this album in my local record store back in '87 and purchased it and King Diamond's Abigail album at the same time. It doesn't need to be stated which album would go on to be considered a classic and which one would fade into obscurity. That doesn't make this a bad album though, I thought the 1st side showed potential at the time.

I came across this album a couple of days ago. After listening to it I understand that this style has been done countless times before and the production is different from what I prefer but I really appreciate the raw and aggressive jam session style of their thrash and wanted to spread the Radiation.

I have been aware of Oxygen Destroyer for a few years now but hadn't listened to their stuff because I was thinking that they were more of a sludgy doomy-sounding band but that is not the case at all and I really like this album. Additionally, they are from the Pacific Northwest, one of my favorite regions for US death metal.

In Thy Dreams was a band that came late to the Swedish melo-death heyday and I feel they somewhat faded into obscurity but I liked them and first became aware back in 97 on Stream of Dispraised Souls, Their next album The Gate of Pleasure was my favorite and then this album was also very good for my tastes but it would be their last. This is my CD rip.

This is my favorite but their last album was also very good for my tastes back at that point in time. My friend had this CD and he recorded it onto HQ Maxell tape for me and I used to play this in the car all of the time back then. The other two are my own CD rips but this one isn't, still "classic" nonetheless.

I stumbled across this band back in 97 with this EP and thought to myself, "damn this is top-notch!" but the production was weak on this CD and the sound volume was too low, so you had to crank the shit out of it to be able to bang your head. It doesn't matter though because the songs were brutally melodic and killer for me.
