Exciter - Cry of the Banshee

[Laingraves]

bands these days just lack the real energy that the bands in my day had > sad !

[Emannikcufesin]

The vocals on this Exciter album remind me of the singer from Hallows Eves first album. I love 80’s thrash vocals.

[rockingrik]

Ah mijn favoriet Exciter nummer!!

[ottawa649]

OTTAWA...brothers...DAN...ALLA­N...JOHN!!!!!!!!

[darthjavader]

Exciter is the true!!

[MegaSlayerfan666]

unvealing the wicked is still the best album by exciter

[tyrannicoystercult]

the singer sounds like Thor a little bit, the way he whips or puffs out his voice in that way

[kramer1lad]

basnshee is a female spirit in irish mythology, check it out on wikipedia

[TheRealScarr]

The production reminds me of Slayer's Show No Mercy.

[MrMegadethSlayer123]

like the first THRASH/SPEED metal album - like 3 months before kill em all

[panterafan1000100]

this is way better than of the shitty music that gets made now.

[f4llen4]

this owns!

[TheVincent666]

Exciter is one of the best metalmindeds of the scene, great sound,fantastic!

[Grindfreakmike1]

killer fucking song.love the badass guitar work. up there with fast eddie and brian robertson

[guyofmetal]

"Twilight burns across the sky

You better run and hide

The beast will roar from the inside!!!"

[TheSemi666]

Classic metal sounds so dirty. New metal is just to polished for me.

[musicmamma]

I loved this song when I was 19, in '85. I still have this record, along with Long live the loud, and feel the knife. Great band that never got the due that they should've.

[beatstopper101]

i'm going to go into a social big team game on halo 3 and mow kids down with the banshee as i listen to this

[AlegouveiaII]

terrific, but the recording kills...

[hoikevinhoi]

@AlegouveiaII but makes it better

[adam5744]

[ffejmetalhead]

[Bridge1961]

@ffejmetalhead Me too, but in Kaatsheuvel, Holland. Awesome night with 3 outstandig bands !!

[timvegas80]

this is indeed a quite awesome metal band sorta old school but i almost thought this was brocas helm at first untill i read the tittle

[Thrashist13]

Excellent thanks to my good friend Sam Howard i found these.

[deadembryoniccells7]

this is definitely metal maniac song

[RIPjohnbonham]

Fucking epic. Anyone know where I can find a download of this? I tried some torrents but none are working. And I'm not a fan of buying stuff online from Amazon and such.

[masterracemyarse]

@RIPjohnbonham

Try soulseek.

[outfoxies]

Oh Christ the fact that the drummer is the vocalist kinda ruined it for me

[TheMindfx]

CATERVA!

[earlhickey2009]

One of the best Speed/Thrash-Records of all Time!Lately I buyed a HEAVY METAL MANIAC-Shirt on ebay!It´s so brilliant,it´s so awesome!Killer!!Long live the Loud,long live Exciter!!Canada,the Land of great Bands however(Like Annihilator,D.O.A.,Danko Jones,or The Subhumans..)YEAH,fuckin´Big!

[chiaromontestephen]

@earlhickey2009 awesome! you should wear that shirt to scare off posers.

[Danimal77]

WOW, BLACK SABBATH COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF one of their songs called SHADOW OF THE CROSS from 1992's KILL AFTER KILL album. Black Sabbath renamed it SHADOW OF THE WIND in 2007 for the Dio Years album. It is essentially the EXACT SAME SONG, with Dio on vocals. The guitar, bass, drums and vocals are IDENTICAL.

[Antonio12610]

yeah dont go hating on sabbath ever. exciter rules but dont hate on sabbath. thank you and stay metal

[Tormentor1991]

Fuck!Exciter RULES!

[Mysteryfucker]

kickass band

[mansonrkmc]

I bought this new in 83 at Kroozin Music in Chicago.

[Oscarskate1001]

ThrashSpeed is sick!!!!

[MLLEBURGER34]

[supeone]

I was a big fan of Metal when I was younger. I had all Slayer and Metallica (Only the first three) records. I loved thrash metal Exodus testament forbidden. But now I dont like MEtal anymore. Still I have to say that I always wanted to listen to Exciter but I couldnt find a record from them but thanks to youtube I listen to them for the first time and I am sad that I dont like metal any

[peKadoDeDioZ]

what a sad tragedy that you dont like metal anymore. Please dont tell me you listen to hip hop now or c(rap)

[RashadtehBastard]

[uhjigali]

Well ? WTF is wrong with you? Why wouldnt you like metal now? Did you become a nun?

[donbrujo]

[JohannaMirthless]

[camsarrr]

AWESOME !!!

[BrunoHarvelot]

Kick ass song !!!

[anvilofcrom]

Exciter should have made it bigger than they did, they were a great metal band.

[Sageman666]

they are!

[nutricide]

@anvilofcrom

Any band that has the drummer sing is doomed. Terrible to watch live.

[Schuldiner11]

@nutricide Just look what happened to Nocturnus..prime example

[jesusisbetter]

@nutricide Ya know...I've hardly ever heard anyone comment on the drummer singing. I agree with you...somewhat...I saw em live several times in the 80s & they were odd, strange, weird to watch live. Almost boring, but not quite. "Problem" was...I was so in love with their music (1st 3 albums) that it didn't really matter to a teen back then. Exciter was one of my favorite bands & it was very cool in hidsight to watch the drummer on mike. Unique. Not doomed as they're still playin.

[sabrefreak]

@nutricide Triumph (Gil Moore), Beatles (Ringo Starr), All-Starr Band (Ringo again), Monkees (Mikki Dolez), Carpentars (Karen Carpentar), The Eagles (Don Henley), Genesis (Phil Collins), Kiss (Peter Criss), Prince (Sheila E), Dave Clark Five (Dave Clark), The Band (Levon Helm), and on and on and on.

[wrongchordsrecords]

@nutricide

froma commercial viewpoint i think youre right , but ive always loved watching SNUFF play.i think you can pull it off with a bit of personality.

[lester5192]

@anvilofcrom YES, they were. but their 86' was weak not as good as this one or their second.

[TrueMalka]

num sei como esse fia da puta consegue tocar bateria e cantar ao mesmo tempo O_O

[scales1020]

with Beehler this was one of the great bands ever!!!!!!!!Hail Exciter!!thanx for posting!!!!!!!!

[georgiarican1]

true metal

[Sageman666]

hell yeah!!!!!

[Bridge1961]

I listen so much to the tracks of HMM !! Every time I hear a song of HMM I want bang and slam like maniac. Good heavens, what a classic album. For me in the top 10 metal albums ever.

[gonSJC]

fuck yea

[MirkoDaeva]

Some Speed Metal with balls...Hell Yeah

[ndnsoldierboy]

EXCITER...Hell yeah!!! I bought this when it was released way back in 1983. It still rocks....classic shit for sure. \m/

[kalvander]

this actually was released a few months before Kill em All

[SouthTucsonArizona]

No life Till Leather was released before this though, through underground trading. There was a lot of shit going on at the time, what is your point with bringing this up? Are you trying to prove a point about who came out first?

[kalvander]

nope

[SouthTucsonArizona]

So what was your point? This is Exciter, I highly doubt anybody cares which was released first.

[kalvander]

yep

[SouthTucsonArizona]

I guess... I just think it is weird that you don't really know anything. Try backing up your argument kid before you play those chick games. "Yep" "Nope" = Kindergarden shit = Poser.

[kalvander]

dude i aint no kid i'm 37 fucking years old, been around metal long before most the people that post on you tube were even sperm in their daddys sack, the original post i made was inresponse to a personal fucking message someone sent me that i know originated from a personal message that someone had seen on exciter posts, they GOT it why you have poke your nose in everywhere

[SouthTucsonArizona]

Haha, I knew you had it in you, but I can't understand a word you just said. I guess you must know a lot about metal ha? haha, you're a funny guy! 37 "fucking" years old right? Sorry if I read wrong, but in your hobbies, you consider Slipknot Metal... Right? But honestly man, I can't understand your style in writing, are your fingers too fat to type?

Now lets play your game...

Yep...

[kalvander]

not playing any games, just love metal.

[metalmaniactilldeath]

dude, you're kind of a douche

shut up

[rickardsomfan]

Well. Exciter did record their first demo called "World War III" in 1981. Metallicas first demo called "Hit The Lights" were recorded in march 1982. So yes, Exciter were first!

[drpadd]

WRONG.....the cassette I USED TO TRADE throughout the world is still called "no life till leather leather" demo.UNAVAILABLE and still the first five words in the THRASH METAL BIBLE

[rickardsomfan]

Yes, and no life til leather was recorded in july 82, hit the ligths demo was recorded in march! But stil, Exciter was before both of them!

[Seethroughfisheyes]

Thx

How were they in concert, did the drummer sang while drumming?

[NapalmScum]

You can see in their live videos he sings whilst drumming.

[metalzboy]

they were great live,see my other post here

[publicastration]

I wish metal bands still kicked this much ass

[HardcoreThrashed]

Fucken Chaos

[DrMongoloid]

horrible vocals. fuck them

[NapalmScum]

And I am sure you sing well enough to say they are horrible. And on top of that, the vocalist is also the drummer, so that just makes them even better.

[GodzOfThunder]

The vocals are great. You need a Q Tip.

[insanethrasher91]

fuck off drmongoloid

how the fuck dont you like exciter

[PowerMadHeadBanger]

This band should be known as the best Power Metal band ever lived... This is Real Heavy Metal for Real HeadBangers with passion and sensibility to identify a Real Heavy Metal.
