Imagine if Kiss were actually any good and had the attitude of say Motorhead, then you'd get Thunderhead. I saw these guys on tour with Motorhead and found this debut record surprisingly good, quality heavy metal. Okay, so Thunderhead isn't the best name but what these German's have ability in, is blurting out straight forward rock 'n' roll and even with a few cliche's it's not tiresome in the slightest and wouldn't sound out of place among some of today's bands. It's a shame the band never made it, several other releases would follow up until 1995 but I guess that was the time when such traditional metal was out of fashion. However, what makes Thunderhead so good is their disregard for trends and like Motorhead, they are happy to belt out some decent tunes with passion and aggression, mainly from Ted Bullet's strong vocals and the rolling riffs.
7/10
