Wasted - Halloween The Night Of

Review by Christian M. Z.

Halloween The Night Of by Wasted: A Heavy Metal Time Capsule from 1984 Released in 1984, Halloween The Night Of by the German/Danish heavy metal outfit Wasted is a raw slice of European metal history. With its mix of pounding riffs, soaring vocals, and haunting themes, this album feels like it was tailor-made for headbanging under the full moon—or maybe just some serious air-guitar antics in your bedroom. The record blends classic heavy metal with touches of hard rock, delivering an unpolished yet infectious energy that screams ‘80s. Produced by Roy Marriott (who also handled arrangements), the album features standout performances from guitarist Al Sørensen and lead vocalist Mick Sonne. Add Morten Barth’s thunderous drumming and Tommy Kromann’s groovy basslines into the mix, and you’ve got yourself a devilishly good time. Tracks That Stick One track that really sticks out is “Demons Re-Calling.” It opens with eerie guitar work that sets the tone perfectly—a vibe somewhere between horror movie soundtrack and battlefield anthem. The lyrics are dark but catchy as hell, and Mick Sonne’s voice has this raspy edge that makes him sound like he’s channeling actual demons. You can almost picture yourself running through foggy woods while listening to this one. It’s not overly complex, but damn if it doesn’t hit the spot. Another banger worth mentioning is “I’m Burning.” This tune brings the heat with relentless rhythms and shredding solos courtesy of Al Sørensen. What stays with you isn’t just the technical skill—it’s how the song builds momentum until you’re practically screaming along with the chorus. There’s something primal about it, like it taps into that part of your brain that craves chaos. Behind the Scenes The credits reveal a tight-knit team effort. Michael Bevort’s engineering gives the album a gritty texture, while Steen Heinricy nails both the photography and cover design, giving the whole package a cohesive look. Tobias Svensson deserves props too for remastering the album later on, ensuring these tracks still sound sharp decades after their initial release. Reflections & Odd Thoughts Listening to Halloween The Night Of, you get the sense that Wasted wasn’t trying to reinvent the wheel—they were just having fun making loud, spooky music. And honestly? That’s what makes it so endearing. In a world where modern albums often feel overproduced, there’s something refreshing about hearing musicians let loose without worrying too much about perfection. Fun fact: Did you know the band recorded this beast across Germany, Denmark, and other parts of Europe? Makes you wonder how many beers were consumed during those sessions… All in all, Halloween The Night Of might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for fans of old-school heavy metal, it’s a hidden gem worth dusting off. Just don’t blame us if you start hearing whispers in the night after blasting “Demons Re-Calling” at max volume.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know that the 1984 heavy metal album *Halloween The Night Of* by Wasted was a true European collaboration? It was released across Germany, Denmark, and other parts of Europe, with credits spanning multiple countries. The album even got remastered years later by Tobias Svensson, giving it new life. Fun fact: the band had two drummers and two lead vocalists during their career but this album solidified their place in heavy metal history. Tracks like "Demons Re-Calling" and "Evil" still give fans chills today!

Comments

Denmark's Wasted started as a clone of Black Sabbath and Mercyful Fate, as shown by their 1984 debut, Halloween... the Night Of.
