Well this is certainly a dose of early NWOBHM, but with the exception that the 'B' stands for Belgium and not British- but don't hold that against them. This their debut exhibits a sound well within the expectations of the genre, while incorporating elements indicative of 'Motörhead'. Kudos to 'Killer' as this album was released back in '81 and although at times lacks refinement even by NWOBHM standards, these Belgians can certainly crank out a decent tune or two. Vocals are split between 'Shorty' and 'Spooky' (there's a sentence I never thought I'd type) the latter has some similarities with 'Lemmy', while the former has a pretty decent set of pipes.

The Belgian trio do their best to imitate 'Motörhead' with the opening title track 'Ready for Hell' and for a moment you can almost hear 'Philthy Animal Taylor' on drums- but not quite, that said still a decent brisk paced, raw rocker, but definitely no 'Ace of Spades'. 'Killer' ensues featuring the cleaner vocals of 'Shorty' and whilst not as heavy as the opener a decent pulsating mid tempo cut. Falling short of the mark is the fairly throwaway 'Secret Love' which in my opinion sees 'Killer' outside their comfort zone as they delve into 'Thin Lizzy' territory with unsuccessful results. Improvements are quickly made with the damn right excellent 'I Know', a brisk paced rocker which recalls early 'Riot' but with an injection of NWOBHM, it all comes off very well with 'Shorty' delivering cleanly, while the rhythm and fret work are stringent throughout- very fine! The quality is sadly not maintained however as the pretty awful 'Spooky' sung 'Rock & Roll Fan' ensues, this in turn gives way to the marginally better but lyrically inane 'Backshooter'. Making a slight improvement is the generic rocker 'Laws are Made to Break' which is ultimately solid if unremarkable, while 'It's too Late' is very reminiscent of 'Samson' taking a slight Bluesy approach, the vocals again come across cleanly, while the instrumentation is also solid. The album closes with the rugged 'Spooky' sung 'Dressed to Kill', a decent if somewhat repetitive affair, but does thankfully embrace plenty of energy and pulsating rhythm.

A patchy affair at best and in all honesty I much prefer the more melodic 'Shorty' sung material, rather than the second-rate 'Motörhead' reminiscent tracks.
