Castle Blak - Babes In Toyland (1986)


8 tracks, a cover of 'Black Diamond', and a sound reminiscent of early crusty Crue dabbling with Van Halen. It's a bit of an odd one this. Cereal box drumming, some decent guitar works, chanted choruses, and proper metal from the Heavy Metal records roster. Hailing from San Francisco, Castle Blak (quite a good band name) keep it pretty simple, 'T.G.I.L.' and 'Throw The Book' probably my favourite's on this quite brash and ballsy record. Not much else to say really, it's metal. Buy Dr Mastermind instead!


6.5/10
