The follow-up album, Fire In The Brain, was released in 1983. With high-energy heavy metal anthems such as InchFortune,Inch InchMegalomaniac,Inch and InchGambler,Inch it was an even more striking effort than the band's debut record. In his Collector's Guide To Heavy Metal, Canadian metal journalist Martin Popoff awarded the album 9 out of 10 points and remarked InchFire In The Brain is a dark, depressing freight train of a record, a richly European work, which pounds relentlessly from the opening heaves of the brilliantly apocalyptic 'Search Lights,' through the slow death trudge of 'Black Candles', to the violent concluding wails of the title track.Inch
