An excellent debut by a criminally underrated Detroit-based band. Borrowed Time play traditional/speed metal influenced by various NWOBHM acts such as Angel Witch and Iron Maiden (on their longer tracks), while there's also a flavor of Manilla Road throughout. The vocals are on a high level but what really shines is the dual guitar playing with inspired leads and catchy riffs. Lastly, the production is not overpolished, in order for the music to transmit a genuine vintage feeling. As good as modern heavy metal gets.
