Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Forged in Fire' captures the Canadian quartet at the peak of their early, influential speed metal trajectory. Featuring Chris Tsangarides's muscular production, the album boasts blistering twin-guitar riffing and Steve 'Lips' Kudlow's aggressive, wailing vocal delivery. The record served as a critical, high-velocity bridge between the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and the rapidly coalescing American thrash scene.
