Protector's first release is definitely one of the most outstanding EPs ever released in the history of metal. There's many other extended-plays that offered something remarkable, from both American and European bands from those glorious old times, and we all have our favorites. But nobody else did something so incredibly harsh in that small short format, in only 6 tracks. Protector made a difference from the very first beginning of their career from the many great bands back then. This feels like in the vein of old pre-album Kreator or Sodom with black metal overtones and lyrics, sort of sounding like their peers Minotaur or like a German counterpart to Possessed. This is actually pretty evil stuff for 1987. Most of the songs contain doomy mid sections ala Celtic Frost or Hellhammer, along with blurry sounding black metal riffing throughout most of the songs. The riffs still manage to be memorable and creative though. These are 6 immense merciless fresh death/thrash cuts that show no mercy, compassion or weakness at all. Pure energy, bestiality and fine skills, in the brutal Teutonic way. The best beginning possible for this group that never gets the credits it deserves. This repress features the two tracks from the first demo as a bonus on an extra 7" EP!
