This EP Is Stormtroopers Only Contribution To The 80’s Metal Scene. It Proves That They Had The Potential To Become A Big Monster In Those Days But After This Release It Was Over And They Broke Up Forever. It Seems They Had The Same Fucking Problems As Dozens Of Bands Of That Time Such As No Proper Record Distribution Label Problems Etc. As It Is Now This One And Only Release Gives Them Somehow A Total Obscure Appeal. As Far As The Music Goes They Take The Best Parts From Heavy/power Metal And Combine It With Some Sheer Thrash Brutality. It’s All There Shrieky Soloing Powerful Midpaced Rhythm Sections Catchy Melody Lines And Shouting Vocal Parts Ala Exciter In Their “Violence And Force” Era. The Opening Track Is A Somehow Long Intro Where You Hear Some Bad Weather A Bell And A Sinister Spoken Passage. It’s Like They Recorded This One On A Rainy Sunday Morning Somewhere In A Graveyard With A Terrible Hangover Belching Out Some Cheesy Bullshit And Went Back Returning To Their Beds But It Definitely Works Well. After This Speech Hell’s Unleashed And All Poodles Will Run For Their Lives. The Title Track Penetrates Your Head And Will Stick There Forever As Goes For The Rest Of The EP. “Steamroller” Might Sound Cheesy At First Listen But Believe Me After A While It Will Logically Fit Within The Rest Of The Songs. “Search And Destroy” Is Another Thrashy Power Metal Splatter With A Great Chorus. The Last Track “The Beast Within” Is The Highlight Of This Fest It’s Mean Raw And Tears Your Fucking Flesh Off. After This It’s Over But Hey For What Reason Are “repeat Buttons” Invented Yes That’s Right To Play “Armies Of The Night” Over And Over And Over…The Only Drawback Would Be The Production Department It’s Bad But It’s Rawness Contributes To Their Special Appeal. Another Drawback Would Be That The Original Vinyl Piece Is Rare As Hell. There Is Also A Picture Disc Which Is Even Rarer. But Don’t Worry There Are Some Bootlegs Circulating Reborn Classic For Example And There’s A Official Cd Re-Release By High Vaultage With A Better Production Without Losing It’s Rawness Of Course Including Some Worthless Bonus Songs Alternated Versions Of The Original Songs . So For All Nostalgic Metal Freaks This One’s In The “buy Or Die” Category.
