Faith Or Fear were one of those thrash metal bands who never released more than one album during their original activity in the late eighties. Punishment Area is a great effort with a surprisingly more versatile sound than what some of the other lesser bands put out at the time. There's even some genuine creativity put into the songs. Tim Blackman's vocals are really suitable for the music and Punishment Area is one of the most significant releases ever.

ORIGINAL PRESSING OF THIS HARD TO FIND VINYL LP.
GREAT SOLID THRASH FROM THE 80S.
A MUST FOR ALL EXTREME MUSIC COLLECTIONS!

one of the philly /NJ area Thrash greats
faith or fear and dominance were two of the philly/new jersey area greats. faith or fear was a very original thrash bands in their time. no one resembled them, they were in front of all the others in the scene and spawned meritt grant/ex-overkill guitarist(not on this cd) from horrorscope to WFO great cds in their wright. they appeared with forbidden / Dark Angel /death /Raven for the ultamite revenge 2 vhs and very much held their own well! next to most of those bands you could very easliy look bad but they seem to earn respect from the crowd. the only LP released buy them sadly but it's a keeper maybe not for everyone but 9/10 people who like thrash will love it.

Thrash under pressure!!!
Very good!! Sadly the first and the last by this New Jersey quintet. I bought the original version used and is worth all the money. If you like Heretic, Testament or Helstar, this is for you!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting, Exploding Kick ... Metal!!!,
Hey "Faith Or Fear" and music lovers out there! I hate comparing one band to another but lets just say you guys should tour with Metallica! :)
The songs I love most on here are "Punishment Area", "Nothing Uncommon", "Have No Fear", "Shadow Knows", "Ripoffs" and my VERY favorite "Time Bomb". This is a great LP, if you love metal. It really gets you going, (better than caffeine. lol) and this music is still very much in style! A CLASSIC!
