When it comes to classic thrash discussions it’s honestly not that rare to see E-X-E’s debut”Stricken By Might” getting mentioned every once and awhile. When an album bleeds this much Metallic Steel, we can definitely see why many fans love this one. E-X-E found themselves stuck in the middle of the thrash explosion, a little too late for 1985’s “no rules” releases like Agent Steel’s debut and this was before the early 90’s when it seemed everyone had to have a perfect production. Don’t get us wrong, while we love albums like “Victims Of Deception” by Heathen or “By Inheritance” from Artillery, we often find ourselves craving for a little rawness, an amateurish edge that says “these guys are just having some fun”. E-X-E’s debut ticks all these boxes for sure. Landing in the middle of the thrash road here, E-X-E seemed to take a little more influences from the speed metal side of things rather than the Bay-Area.
