"[Heavy Metal Maniac] packed a hard-edged ferocity and love for speed that pushed it well beyond the bounds of classic heavy metal and into the realms of the then-nascent speed metal movement. Its rough production values and nearly out-of-control distortion added a crucial punk attitude and provided the push over the cliff, as it were, that characterized most of thrash's original stars... songs like "Cry of the Banshee," "Stand Up and Fight" and the excellent title track are all mini-classics in their own right." - Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
