The Heathen - Victims Of Deception (CD) - CD

Details: CD reissue. This album, Heathen's second, does nothing but confirm what a shame it is that this band died an early death not very long after it's release. Victims Of Deception features a powerful, clear, and professional sounding production, and upon conclusion it´s a high quality 10 track thrash metal release. The guitar work done by Lee Altus and Doug Piercy is spectacular with real heavy mid to fast tempo riffs, impressive virtuosic guitar solos and really strong melodic vocals by David White. For those who think this band is a generic thrash band, there's a great ballad on this album "Prisoner Of Fate" and also great guitar instrumental, "Guitarmony". Overall, this is a very strong album by a unjustly remained too unknown and underrated metal band.
