Hallows Eve: history of terror

I know nothing about this band, and am curious to check them out.

So i ordered their History of Terror box set.

Is it a good move? Should i go for something else as well?

Brief me please.

I believe that box set has everything they ever recorded, including demos and live recordings, so that should be all you need. I have it and it's an excellent set. It's done the way all box sets should be done.

Awesome

I agree with 007!

I found a used copy of Tales Of Terror at a used tape store in the early 90s and I liked it a lot. When I switched to CD, I never found a copy to replace the tape. Later when my CD collection was growing and I discovered the wonders of internet shopping in the early 2000's I found that a CD of that album cost $50 at the very least and never replaced it. Found a youtube video to MP3 converter and there was a video of the album so I rediscovered my love for it. Found out about this collection and got it with my Christmas money.

Not only was the sound and production greatly improved, I was able to get the albums that came after it. Great old school thrash (though the demos and live versions are not something I'd listen to more than once) and a worthy investment.

I have it. I love Hallows Eve, so of course I would say pick it up.

Speaking of Hallow's Eve, got this recently from eBay:



Always liked the cheesy album cover!

I have it and it's composed of all their Metal Blade releases. Definitely worth picking up if speed/thrash is your thing. They have released two albums after that in 2005 and 2008 but I've never heard either of them.

I had no idea they had newer releases.

Ult has a review of them on NLTM. Sounds worth checking out.

I did order the box set from amazon. Should reach my part of the world within a week or two.

Sick shirt you got there dallasblack! Love it!

I have that box set, and love it, had no idea they put out anything new though. Will definitely need to check into that some more.

Great. More things to add to the want list.

I too have the box set. It's all the Hallows Eve I need and a fine collection.

I have one of those shirts too. Tales Of Terror is my favorite album from them. I should pick up the box set sometime. As far as any of their newer material I haven't heard any of it.

There is another interesting box set by tokyo blade which i am planning to order next.

DallasBlack, you look great dude !
Another album I bought because of the artwork....way back when.
I’ve listened to Hallows Eve song 500 times easy.....October, it’s in my CD player.
I never bought anything more from them....they were rough about the edges....
