VALHALLA - LIGHTNING IN THE SKY single 1981


Another great piece of NWOBHM, formed in 1980 and split in 1981. Not to be confused with the other NWOBHM band with the same name that happened to record for Neat records. This is a very rare piece of wax that actually lives up to it obscurity. This awesome Leicester based NWOBHM quintet, only released this one 7", "Lightning In The Sky". Which was actually self-released on their own Asgard label in 1981, breaking up sometime after that. The first track "Lightning in the sky" is a Great metal tune that's right up there with some of the best shit. It always surprises me how much better some of the rarest shit is compared to the bands that "Made it" so to speak. Next is another solid rocker called "These Sunday nights", while not as strong as the a-side, its still a killer song and has a great solo out, that fades to the sound of crackling vinyl. Another lost classic..Enjoy!
Feel the thunder rolling through the night, Lightning in the sky!
