This was quite a bit more meh than I was expecting for old school-styled stuff, especially with a Kat shirt on display. Two girls and a drummer playing simple, slightly-evilized-Motörhead metal. It's inoffensive, but nothing that killer either. One major issue rears its head immediately with the silly intro and is the same problem I have with bands like Demona--the heavily accented female vocals sound weak and rob a lot of potential power from the music. Speaking of Demona, would I classify Evil Bitch as speed metal? Not as a whole, unless you classify anything with a somewhat fast tempo influenced by Motörhead as speed metal (I don't). If someone were to call individual tracks like "Witch of Satan" and "Sinner" speed metal, I wouldn't put up any argument. But make no mistake--this fails to even reach Acero Letal levels, let alone the terminal velocities of classic Agent Steel or Living Death.
By the way, the claw hands of the bishop on the cover art made me think of a Playmobil figure (a quick search confirms Playmobil did indeed make a St. Nicholas figure with a crosier at some point).
