Kat
38 Minutes of Life
[Metal Mind]


This is a 1987 release I guess. The Polish band KAT sound solid live, unfortunately this is tinny, dirty & grainy. You can detect their heaviness. The crowd sounds right into their set of thrashy power metal. This is a cool release the more I listen to it, even though the Polish lyrics go over my head. KAT are very thrashy here, maybe inspired a lot by Ride The Lightning, but I still consider this power metal. Roman's vocals still sound like Udo (Accept), but I think I figured it out. He also is trying to be 'sharp'/'tough' too, fuck, he must be a Baloff fan!

This is a decent release, maybe more energetic than their debut, but is thin sounding. The inside photo of them and Metallica is cool, KAT must have opened for them at this show.My Polish isn't great but here's a try, the tracks are-

1.Intro
2.Czarne Zastepy (Black Hosts)
3.Diabelski Dom cz.II (Devils House Part II)
4.Mag-Sex (Magus-Sex,??)
5.Morderca (If this is their song "Killer", this is way faster!!)
6.Wyrocznia (Oracle)
7.Glos z ciemnosci (Voice of Darkness)
8.Masz mnie wampirze ((You Got Me) Vampire)
9.Porwany obledem (Raped Insanity,??)
BONUS
10.Dziewczyna w cierniowej karonie (Girls with thorny crowns)
11.Noce Szatana (Satan's Night)
