Creeping death
from Åkersberga, Sweden
This album is great, the only bad thing is that Paul DiAnno sings way to fast on some songs, you can hardly hear what he is singing on the verses on "Murders in the Rue Morgue", but he sings much better on "Killers" and "Purgatory". Killers include two instrumental songs and both are great. The songs on Killers are: 1.The ides of march: A catchy but short instrumental track. It is a great song, but it isn't as good as "Genghis Khan". 2.Wrathchild:One of the best songs of the album. 3.Murders in the Rue Morgue:Starts slowly but breaks into a very fast guitar riff and a great chorus. My only complaint is that DiAnno sings way to fast in the verses.Not as great as the title track but almost. 4.Another Life:Musically it is great but the lyrics is too repetive. 5.Genghis Khan:A longer and a more complex version of "The ides of march". 6.Innocent Excile:A song about a innocent man that has been accused for killing a woman. It isn't one of the best songs but it is good. 7.Killers:One of Maidens greatest song ever. 8.Prodigal son: The slowest and longest song of the album. DiAnno sounds great on this song. The third best song of the album. 9.Purgatory: It is the fastest song of the album. 10.Twilight zone:It is about a dead man that is captured in the Twilight Zone and is tempted to bring his wife over to him. It has a sad feeling. 11.Drifter:Compared to the other songs of the album this has a very happy mood. The slow part of the song is great.
