I can't help smiling a bit and thinking that I'm just an old idiot because I like this. I mean, what these Peruvians (!) do has been done before and for many, many years. 'To Hell' reeks of sweaty spandex and studs that have been gushed with cheap beer, it oozes of early Iron Maiden, the NWOBHM, early American heavy rock and perhaps even Kraut metal a la Scorpions and early Running Wild.

You shouldn't listen to this album expecting to stumble over something new. You should listen to this album simply because you'd want to be amazed that someone has actually managed to sound EXACTLY like a band from 1982 without falling flat on the ground and being plain silly. The energy and passion is just too convincing, and the songs are really good.

When you're in that old-school mood, when you feel Iron Maiden, do check this album out.
