This Canadian trio have been making noise since the early 80s, yet their brand of raw, no-frills, in-your-face metal still packs a punch that can knock you off your feet.\n\nFrom the opening track \"The Holocaust\" to the closing notes of \"Black Witch\", EXCITER take no prisoners with their thrashy riffs, blistering solos, and fist-pumping anthems. It's like being transported back to the heyday of the NWOBHM, with a modern twist that keeps things fresh and exciting.\n\nVocalist Dan Beehler's screams could shatter glass, while the guitar work of John Ricci and Allan Johnson is nothing short of ferocious. And let's not forget about the thundering drums that drive the whole album forward like a freight train in overdrive.\n\nWhile \"Heavy Metal Maniac\" may not reinvent the wheel, it doesn't need to. This is classic metal done right, with enough energy and attitude to keep headbangers banging their heads for years to come. So grab your leather jacket, throw up the horns, and crank up the volume - EXCITER are here to remind you that metal never dies.","brand":"Vinyl Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50676525105483,"sku":"CD5471","price":11.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/2349\/9083\/files\/0020286198529.jpg?v=1729853840"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/2349\/9083\/collections\/0020286198529.jpg?v=1731666877","url":"https:\/\/vinylcastle.com\/collections\/exciter.oembed","provider":"Vinyl Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
