Scanner--Hypertrace (1988/Noise)
Rating--7.6

Warp 7--RealAudio
An early release from one of the early power/speed units. The band's music sounds a bit like early Gamma Ray, some of the swift Riot material, and a little like Sanctuary-- though not as over-the-top. Thick metal in the slower areas, with shades of heavy German music. Plenty of adequate metal tracks.
The paced track "Across the Universe" has a melodic, layered chorus, and "Retaliation Positive" is similar with its chopping rhythm. A number of other tracks stand out as solid fare: "Locked Out," "R.M.U.," "Grapes of Fear," and "Killing Fields".
TRACK LIST: Warp 7/Terrion/Locked Out/Across the Universe/R.M.U./Grapes of Fear/Retaliation Positive/Killing Fields/Wizard Force
