Here is Juggernaut's debut album. I ordered this along with "Trouble Within" from Rockadrome Records. They still have copies that are sealed for sale on the website. I opened this just to record it. Other than a few pops at the beginning of this record, this vinyl was extremely clean. The recording is nice and clear. This was made available on this site before (I believe by Witchcross) as a rip of the High Vaultage CD. Even that link is now dead. This is the only vinyl rip of this available on the blog. Scans are included

This is prog power metal not tech. speed metal. But it is a very good album

It's a matter of opinion as to the genre. The metal archives list it as "Technical Progressive Thrash/Speed Metal." While I agree that it has progressive elements, I also have to say that it is too fast to be merely labeled as "prog. power." I also don't think it can be labeled as thrash, because it lacks mosh riffs and shout vocals. I think the best label for it is "Texas Metal." Most bands from Texas mix speed, progressive technicality, and piercing vocals with amazing effect. For those who disagree, see S.A. Slayer, Militia, or Watchtower for reference.
