Another one of those essential records from mid-'80s obscurity, head for the nearest citadel and grab yourself a dusty copy because this rocks in more ways than one. The sleeve is a major selling point, and the vocals are just pure metallic wails in the night and when you hear the anthemic chug of 'Metal Screams' you'll be waving your fists as you sleep. Classic '80s metal with a certain amount of attitude particularly in the vocal department, somewhere between early Joe Elliot of Def Leppard but meatier, and although the guitars could have been made far more heavier and a dense sound would have provided a darker atmosphere, but damn it, it was '85, the kids wanted to rock, and Black Knight certainly did...albeit briefly, and then the flames died.
7/10
