Canadian Speed Metal Pioneers: Exciter’s ‘Death Machine’ (MAS LP0666)
Today’s entry features a crushing release from the undisputed kings of Canadian speed metal. We are looking at the 2010 vinyl edition of Death Machine by Exciter, released on the German label Massacre Records with the appropriately evil catalog number MAS LP0666.
Keeping the Old School Alive
Exciter is rightfully revered alongside bands like Anvil for laying the groundwork for the thrash metal explosion of the 80s. Released in 2010, Death Machine proves that time had not dulled their edge. Featuring original drummer/singer Dan Beehler, the album is a relentless assault of raw, high-speed riffs and pounding rhythms that stays true to the formula established on their classic debut Heavy Metal Maniac.
The Music
The album offers no compromises or modern experiments—just pure, unadulterated speed metal. The title track Death Machine sets a furious pace immediately. Other standouts include the violent Razor In Your Back and the anthemic Power And Domination. The album closes with the seven-minute crusher Skull Breaker, showcasing the band’s ability to maintain intensity over longer compositions.
Collector’s Details
Massacre Records released this album on vinyl strictly for the die-hard fans.
Format:
This is a standard single LP housed in a high-quality Gatefold sleeve, featuring artwork that fits the band’s classic violent aesthetic.
Limitation:
The pressing was strictly limited to just 500 copies worldwide.
Extras:
Each copy is hand-numbered, making every individual record unique. The catalog number MAS LP0666 is a fitting touch for a band that has spent decades celebrating the darker side of heavy metal.
