Cruella--Vengeance is Mine (1989)
Rating--7.1

In a stripped-down sense, this is a very strong epic and gothic-tinged album. Shades of 'Kill 'Em All' Metallica , fast-paced Priest, and thematic Manowar are all apparent in places. Wailing, range-driven vocals lend to the above images.
"In Time" is fast, heavy and strong, and "Beyond Belief" is a chunky riff groove throughout. "Traitors" is rapid, and "Fight the Dragon" is simply excellent--dark, with heavy distortion.

**Note: This disc has been re-released as part of a 2-for-1 package from Must Have Music along with followup 'Shock the World'--the contact is on the links page. A nice treat for the true collectors.
