Nighthawk - No Mercy (1988)


Driving German metal with clear, clean vocals and surging musicianship, good stuff. The title cut is a real headbanger, 'Born To Fly' (strange keyboard arrangement - and reminds me of the Scorpions) and 'Goddess Of The Dark' follow suit, fanning the flames of evermore, making this very decent classical metal. Not quite hellbent on raising demons, this still echoes through the caverns majestically.
Album cover kind of represents the sound...suggestive of terror but fleeting and pretty harmless.
6/10
