These guys are from German and this release is their second album. I must admit that I didn't expect guys from Germany to be playing this kind of music. Oh yes, Skeletor is not another Thrash Metal band. They're playing Punk/Rock with a lot of Heavy parts.
I can't say that the HellFireRockMachine  album made me feel all those feelings that a great album would make me feel. It's not a very interesting album, I think it's much more boring. No I don't say that they don't have some good songs like the song which the album begins (Rockit!) but the rest of the album sounds completely boring and so similar to the other tracks. They try to sound like Nashville Pussy but they don't make it!! The only things that are maybe close to Nashville are the song titles of Gun In Your Hand and Rock 'n' Roll Man.  
The entire album does not only have Punk songs but also includes some romantic (?), slow songs like Spader and To Be A Star and more Hard Rock sound tracks like World In Black.
The only thing that I liked from this album is the lay-out cover and the album's title.
