Talk about an upgrade! I finally threw out my 20 year old cassette of "Doomsday" and picked up this CD/DVD combo! It sounds great. The crisp production makes it sound as if these tunes were laid down last week, not two decades ago.
As far as the album goes, it's a great thrash disk, that really captures the metal genre at it's highpoint. Unlike today's metal, bands like "Flotsam and Jetsam" didn't sacrifice things like Lyrics, melodies, bass lines and so much more that seems to be missing from today's metal scene. Sure, they brought the heavy, but it was still accessable. Give a listen to the titular track, and you'll agree that these guys had talent, and made the most of their debut disk. I'm still amazed "Flotsam & Jetsam" were never able to reach the heights of fellow thrashers "Slayer" (I guess losing your key songwriter and bassist didn't help), but if you are a fan of thrash, you owe it to yourself to pick this disk up.
A new twist on an old classic January 26, 2007

I think this is a must have for the average metalhead. The musicianship is outstanding as always for Flotsam and Jetsam. A band that certainly didn't achieve the commercial success that they were very capable of. I have been a fan since the beginning. This, their first release, is fairly raw as far as recording quality, but awesome nonetheless. You can really hear their Sabbath, Judas Priest, and of course Iron Maiden influences in this one. Lots of dueling guitars and harmonys. And Eric "A.K." Knutson's wailing vocals are rivaled by only a few in my humble opinion. The bonus tracks and unreleased material in this re-release are a blast from the past also. They are raw, no doubt, but it is refreshing to hear the beginnings of a band that is still releasing albums as recent as last year's "Dreams of Death". This is an excellent buy, no doubt about it. Bonus DVD also.
An unbelievable reissue.......well worth the small price!!!!! December 8, 2006

A definite addition to your metal collection.......Flotsam & Jetsam's debut released in 1986 'Doomsday For The Deceiver' stands out as an important album in metal. Not perfectly written and arranged but a necessity for the Flotsam fan. Here we find the origins of (soon to be Metallica bassist) Jason Newsted as truly fronting the band as the main lyricst and spokesperson. Eric A.K. singing out those high pitches, Kelly Smith thumping away with a style of his own and Mike Gilbert and Ed Carlsson trading off solos so nicely.
Most of the tracks are arranged great with two epics back to back 'Doomsday For The Deceiver' and 'Metalshock' that will leave you speechless. But as I've metioned there are some that are not so great. The one that stands out as the biggest disappointment is 'Fade To Black' the shortest number on the album. It sounds like a different band, completely horrible and worthless. And then as the album rounds off it does become generic with the song 'Der Fuhrer' and the boring instrumental 'Flotzilla'. These songs do not offer much to the ear. So with keeping that in mind this album really is only about 4 stars.
Now fast foward 20 years and we have a remixed and remastered edition for the fans. And I must say the hero of the day is the original producer who also remixed/remastered the album the one and only Bill Metoyer. A huge credit goes to him. What an awesome job he did!!!!!!!!!
So disc 1 is the original album with bonus tracks, disc 2 is the remixed/remastered version of the debut(also with bonus tracks) which brings me to where your money will truly be spent. Disc 3 is a dvd which is about 90 minutes long chock full of performances that you would never get to see anywhere else. Old footage of the boys rocking out in various place(please see description). The quality is low budget but that will not matter to a fan.
So get yours horns up and enjoy this beautiful 20th anniversary edition of 'Doomsday For The Deceiver'.
WOW! What an improvement! November 29, 2006

The new mix and mastering of Doomsday is amazing! It's so clean, it sounds like it could have been recorded this year. I'm hearing things I never noticed before, and this is after listening to the album for 20 years! If you don't have this CD, only buy this version. If you already have it, trade in your copy and get this one. You still get the original with the Iron Tears Demo, and a 2nd disc with the Remix/Remastered version and the Metal Shock Demo. Plus, the DVD is pretty cool. There's a live show from 1985 with 4 unreleased songs, an interview, a cheesy music video, and a picture montage. It's funny to see Jason Newsted with his poofy hair back in the days before he joined Metallica. Hopefully, a remix/remaster of No Place for Disgrace will be ready in 2008 for it's 20th Anniversary.
