Show Notes:

Episode Seventeen: Razor's Evil Invaders (1985). This Is the sophomore release from the Canadian thrashers, who are considered a part of the big 4 of Canada's thrash elite. Razor; along with Sacrifice, Annihilator and Voivod have carved a musical legacy to critical acclaim globally.

Evil Invaders was released on October 13th, 1985 on Viper Records and is considered a fan favourite by many. The songs are energetic and generally faster than on Executioner's Song; but suffers a bit from fairly repetitive song structures.

Fun Fact: The album cover done by artist Gary Cooper depicts an evil cyborg of living tissue over a metal exoskeleton, reminiscent of the Terminator from the popular movie series. A music video was also made for the track Evil Invaders.
