Debut album from 1988 by this Boston-based American band and one of the most underrated gems of late-1980s Speed/ Thrash Metal. Formed within the thriving Massachusetts Metal scene, MELIAH RAGE developed a style that combined the aggression of Thrash Metal with the strong songwriting and melodic foundations of traditional Heavy Metal.
"Kill to Survive" stands out through its sharp riffing, well-crafted tempo changes and the powerful vocals of Mike Munro, whose performance gives the material a distinctive identity. More sophisticated and technically accomplished than much of the Thrash Metal of its era, the album has gradually earned recognition as a genuine cult classic of American Metal.
Recommended for fans of: HEATHEN, FORBIDDEN, XENTRIX, INTRUDER.
