A Speed Metal Hymn

Surely a band as Exciter deserves to be known outside the Metal universe. First because the music is great, second because the music causes excitement. But don't use this album as an introduction. Due to the fact that the drummer is also the vocalist (I think that this is the primarly cause) the sound is good only for drums. Bass and guitar have a sound too close to something traditional, almost missing the songs of some mixing in post production. This is a great limit.

The songs are all great, "Pounding metal" and "Violence And Force" are two Metal anthems. But with this sound... The Power Metal of "Delivering To The Master" is good, in this version, only because the song is great. For the rest it is difficult to understand this live music, due to sound.

So... "Better Live Than Dead is a great live ruined from the very bad sound. Is, however, possible that in 1991 there are still recorded at these levels?
