KIDD GLOVES - FEEL THE FIRE EP 1987 (US)

Killer sleazy female fronted classic metal! Anyone who reads this blog knows I love female vocals and mega hot Karyn Jaymes does a great job on this. I love everything on this even the total metal version of Blondie's "Call Me", which just seems a little out of place, but still rocks. Great rw metal sound and great songs too. Also got to say I fucking love the Jim Henson looking cover, I wish metal bands still did ridiculous shit like this.

SACRED FEW - BEYOND THE IRON WALLS 1985 (US)

Here's some totally classic heavy metal with female vocals. I love this chicks voice, totally ballsy and tough. The band and the music are wicked too. Sure to please any fan of classic metal. In a way this reminds me of Witchkiller with female vocals, which is awesome. The lyrics are more like, "Fuck you I'll do what I wanna do" or "Dude heavy metal is a way of life", haha, those are not actual lyrics just the vibe of the album. This is their only full length album, but they do have a single. This is a gem just waiting to be unearthed. Classic Stuff!
1. Wildlife
2. Last Chance
3. Are You There?
4. Dream With Me
5. Coming to Your Town
6. Running from Luck
7. Sea of Thought

MORTICIAN - NO WAR EP (AUT) 1987

First of all this isn't the death metal band! This is a completely different entity all together. Though this great cover looks like an Anarcho punk/ D-beat record, its really just classic headbanging metal music. Great riffs and great vocals here, I think they could have gone much farther if this wasn't their only release, too bad, cause this is a really good one. Falling somewhere between power metal and speed metal, but with a very Classic metal vibe, along with very well written material. I don't have a clue what happen to these guys, they did get back together at one point I think and there is a Compilation CD of their stuff out there somewhere. Truly a great single, I dug all three songs, totally METAL!

1. No War
2. Listen to the Priest
3. Hot Fight

AXEHAMMER - LORDS OF THE REALM 1987 (US)

Here's some seriously great fantasy based Classic/Power metal. Totally awesome vocals and some fantastic riffs. The first 5 tracks were recorded in 87 and but weren't released at the time for some reason, I don't know why, but its a terrible shame because these guys are a hell of a lot better than a ton of other bands. The last 3 are from demos. Totally Top notch shit! Tons of energy with unique and original songs. Again I really dig the super power metal vocals, this is just a really great metal record all around, too bad they didn't do more!
1. Princess
2. Lord of the Realm
3. Sands of Time
4. Break Down the Walls
5. Axehammer
6. Wings of Fire (demo 1984)
7. Sword and Shield (demo 1984)
8. Axehammer '84

HELS - BIRTH 1985 (SWE)

Here's a very doomy and depressing piece of classic metal. This has different style and vibe than most metal from this period, but it also doesn't fit into the typical doom mold either, I really loved the demonic background vocal and the over all sound is very metal, also love the simple cover, great stuff check it out.

1.Birth

2.Death

GRAVE - SCREAMING FROM THE GRAVE 1983 (SWE)

Great NWOBHM-esq single from this Swedish entity. Great shit with a lot of energy and funny keyboards, very reminiscent of Rainbow at times even, not like that's a bad thing right? Anyway great single, both tracks are rocking and entertaining enough for repeat listens. got to mention this great little cover

1.Screaming from the Grave

2.Dreamer

HARDWARE - COMMON TIME HEROES 1984 (GER)

Here's a pretty good one from Germany, not a perfect album by any means, but there are some really good parts. Over all I really like the guitar sound and the general sound of this record. If there is anything I would change, it would be the sometimes weak vocals. Not all the time but sometimes this guys just sounds wimpy as hell. They aren't playing thrash metal or anything but still the vocals could use a lot more balls. That aside I dig this record pretty well, it will certainly appeal to fans of 80's glam and hard rock. My favorite here would have to be "On the Run". Check it out.

1.Hot'n'Ready
2.In the Night
3.Tough Lover
4.Lady Dynamite
5.Easy to Say
6.On the Run
7.Sun City
8.Breakin' All the Rules

WIKKA - WIKKA E.P. 1988 (CAN)

Great metal E.P. here. Great riffs and guitar sound, also dig the vocals a lot, kind of sleazy but kinda power metal. Pretty behind the times for 88, but that's OK with me! Most of these songs are slower and heavy, with a few upbeat moments. Sort of reminds of some the mid period Death S.S. from the late 80's also. Sometimes this has thrash vibe but the songs are very well written and well played. This is their only release which is pretty surprising considering the great music on this E.P., All around a really cool record and unique band... I love that logo..Totally profound!
1.The Innocent
2.Sinister Minister
3.Pharaoh's Awakening
4.Beware Of The King

TOTAL METAL FORCES ATTACK VOLUME TWO

Here is volume 2, also from the cassettes I made for some friends years ago, there are some really great songs here, some rare stuff and some basic shit too. Lots of great bands also, my personal favs here would have to be Prisoner's "Backstabber" (what a masterpiece and I love the fucking vocals, a totally intense and ponderous headbanger ) Hellion's "Don't take No for an Answer" (this band should have been so much bigger, this track is almost perfect rock metal) and Stormwitch's "Heart of Ice" (this is a pretty poppy song but I just love it, great sing along type shit). Their all good tracks though. Just all round good metal. Thanks to everyone who got the last one, hope you dug it ..Enjoy!
1.Prisoner-Backstabber
2.Black'N'Blue-Kiss of Death
3.Gravestone-The Real Death
4.Warrior-Day of the Evil
5.Max Havoc-I'm the Show

STITCH - DEVILS DEAL 1982 (SWE)

Man what a great little single, just fantastic. Great vocals, great riffs and a ton of upbeat energy. Certainly in the NWOBHM vein. But this early example of full on Swedish metal is a little rawer and meaner. The b-side is the real catch here, but the a-side kicks like hell too. I love the logo and the truly metal looking photo cover, totally killer! This band has some later recordings that really suck it though, so watch out.
1. Devil's Deal
2. Touchin' the Stars

THRUST - FIST HELD HIGH 1984 (US)

Here's some more great metal for you this time its Chicago's Thrust. I first heard these guys on a weird comp that I pick up for a dollar or two somewhere called " Solidarnosc Rock for Poland". I have no idea what that title means, does anyone?. There are only two bands on the comp and none the less Thrust was easily the best. I have included that comp track here also. This great high energy fun/party metal type shit. Any real metal head will dig this for sure. Great music all around. Though sometimes this guys attempt at King Diamond are a little terrible, otherwise a great piece of wax.
1. Fist Held High
2. Overdrive
3. Freedom Fighters
4. Metallic Attack
5. Destructer
6. Heavier Than Hell
7. Thrasher
8. Torture Chamber
9. Posers Will Die!
10.The Wolf (Bonus track)

THE HAND OF DOOM - POISONOISE 1979 (GER)

The one is so unreal, where the fuck did this record come from, its just flat out killer. If your as obsessed with this kind of music as I am, Its so hard to wrap your mind around a record this good existing without your knowledge. I mean were always finding new music and bands and now thanks to the Internet, its all actually able to be heard no matter for the most part how obscure it is. But still ever once in a while a record comes along that really reminds you why you dig so deep. First of all this is not a doom metal album, its actually some very heavy rock/punk/metal sounding insanity from Germany 1979. One of the best records I have heard in years. My friend Fenriz turned me on to this one last year on a comp he sent me, featuring the song "Rock 'n' Roll Close to the End of the World", great title right! That and every one of the other tracks here are a prefect mixture of caveman metal brutality, punk delivery and a completely bad attitude. Got to say the vocals are so fucking good!, from punk and straight metal to beyond Lemmy style to almost death metal growls. At times this could be compared to some of the meaner early Motorhead material, they don't sound like Motorhead really but this certainly has the same vibe at times. Very very heavy for 79. Lots of high energy riffs, all with a weird rock 'n' roll punk edge, its sort of like these guys are playing a weird party, don't get me wrong this record actually sounds really really good and not like a live album at all, still there is that special something, I just cant put my finger on it that makes it come alive. The guitar sound itself is pretty fantastic as well, very 70's but a little rawer. Anyway nothing short of essential. Get this one for sure. There is a reissue of this out on CD and vinyl that adds about 11 more tracks, well worth it I think.
1.There Ain''t No Running Away
2.They Who''ll Creep At Night
3.Rock N'' Roll Close To The End Of The World
4.Heavy Mad Head
5.Deadman''s Dream
6.The Meanest Man
7.Doom Power
8.Poisonoise
9.The Hound
10.The Lights Of The Blind

WARLOCK - DEMO 1983 (GER)

Well if your not already a huge Doro fan like I am, Warlock is the right place to start. I have been a fan since around 1988 or so, when I picked my first piece of Warlock wax 1987's "Triumph and Agony". Doro's voice is fucking amazing and she is easily the best looking metal vocalist of all time. My teen crush for her still runs deep, so Doro if your out there, I'm waiting for the call! The version of "Burning the Witches" on this demo is much more alive and energetic than the album version and is a must hear for Doro fans. Still looking for something by Doro's first band Snakebite, so if anyone can help please do! Truly rocking heavy metal shit. Bow at the altar of the ultimate metal goddess!
1.Burning the Witches
2.Iron Lady
3.Cry for a Rebel
4.Watchout
