I never cease to be impressed with this album everytime i spin it. HOST were a very influencial band from Norway who play a heavy guitar driven style of music and they sing in their native language. This five piece band actually reminds me of SBB a lot and the keyboardist also at times is the second lead guitarist and he also plays clavinet and mini-moog besides a variety of keyboards of course(a talented man). A lot of people mention the IRON MAIDEN flavour which to me is heard in the tone of one of the guitars, as well as the Harris-like upfront bass. There are dual lead guitars at times as well. And i have to mention the killer drumming throughout. I like the grainy looking cover art which was a photo taken in the fall not so surprisingly since HOST means "autumn" in their language. This is a tough one to track down these days i understand but anyone into Proto-Metal should not hesitate if you come across this gem.
