US Thrash Metal classic from 1987 gets re-issued, remastered and with an extra unreleased track from the original recordings! Black vinyl limited to 200 copies.

When it comes to classic thrash discussions its honestly not that rare to see E-X-Es debut Stricken By Might getting mentioned every once and awhile.
When an album bleeds this much Metallic Steel, we can definitely see why many fans love this one. E-X-E found themselves stuck in the middle of the thrashexplosion, a little too late for 1985s no rules releases like Agent Steels debut and this was before the early 90s when it seemed everyone had to havea perfect production.

Dont get us wrong, while we love albums like Victims Of Deception by Heathen or By Inheritance from Artillery, we often find ourselves craving for a little rawness, an amateurish edge that says these guys are just having some fun.

E-X-Es debut ticks all these boxes for sure.
Landing in the middle of the thrash road here, E-X-E seemed to take a little more influences from the speed metal side of things rather than the Bay-Area.
Nothing here is crazier as some stuff you would hear in 1985, but the diversity is all over the place.

Some tracks sound like Exciter slipping into hellish darkwaters, others are excellent thrashers, topped off with a few traditional anthems that are simply unforgettable.

While E-X-E never really does anything outof the ordinary or insanely groundbreaking here, theres just something about this whole album that screams metal, something we never hear in 2025anymore.

Nothing feels fake here and you just get this incredibly awesome feeling listening to it.
All in all theres a powerful aura to this one that gives it an incredibly awesome vibe.

The consistency is as strong as ever and there really isnt any throwaway track in sight here.

This is one of those albums that might not hit you at first, but the more you listen to it the better it gets each and every time.

If youwant some pure and true speed/thrash metal with a lot of timeless spirit behind it, this is highly recommended.
