| First and only album by the
British Preyer (opening for the Grim Reaper in the tour Rock You to
Hell), the Terminator (released in 1986 under the Ebony Records) is
a box of 8 tracks of pure metal, directed by the powerful voice of
Pete McIntosh (you hear singing on behalf of a very angry Kal Swan)
line-up is completed by guitarists James Rees and Craig
Thomas, bassist Phil Scourfield and drummer Phil John (who went on
to form Talon). The LP
opens with the titanic Reserve the Right, led by riffing enthralling
piece of two by the sharp axe men and Pete. 'Terminator' The title
track is a mid tempo rock and square, we have a beautiful change of
time that coincides with the double guitar solo.
The next 'Leather and Chains' follows the
footsteps of the previous song, and we also have here a change in
the level of absolute time, but this time we are facing a slowdown
with a beautiful very good Pete behind the microphone and with a
superb solo full of feeling that transmits many emotions.
This is followed by fast Over the Top, the formula consists of
Preyer granite riffs, melodies damn heavy metal and a very good
voice, and then this piece follows this formula to the letter: you
could compare this piece to a runaway train that runs without
stopping.
Beware the Night and Shout it Out are the most melodic song of the
lot, the first bursts in a chorus by pointing out the beautiful
features almost epic of Tytan Rough Justice and the second is more
direct and square while maintaining the melodic especially in the
solo parts.
Rock Crusader is the anthem of the
song's final group, a mid-tempo rock that seems to tell the stories
of ancient warriors. Once again lead the way for Pete to Have His
melodic voice and Powerful, anthemic chorus and the guitar parts
really justified. With the final piece in front of us Riffarama more
violent LP: a proto-thrash metal that flows into the verse chorus
punctuated by two power chord axe heroes. This piece can
remember anything like the style of the Raven and the Canadian
Exciter for the use of voice in this piece is more taut and
crackling (just in the style of Dan Beehler). Here ends this work of
pure Heavy Metal.
