July 19 1985
Sacrilege
Behind the Realms of Madness
Genre: Speed Metal
2.25 out of 5
The novelty here is that this speed metal band is fronted by a woman, something that really wasn’t done in 85. The sad aspect is that she is the worst part of this. She can sing, yes. She can probably stand toe to toe with the best of them. But whatever she’s required to warble is awful. Most of the time she just ends up sounding like Peaches doing a speed metal version of “Rockshow” with no nuance or humor.
And the damned lead guitar is looking for moments to noodle little accents all over the place and, after a while, he’s just distracting.
I wanted to like this. I’m just bored and annoyed.
