C'mon and rock German style. More obscure metal from the golden age. Cuts such as 'Fire From Hell' deserve to be introduced into the metal hall of fame, but so many bands of this ilk would have faded into obscurity. Now, I know that Maiden, Priest, Kiss, made metal huge, but it's stuff like this and Cobra, Vyper, etc, which provide the obscure foundations which us curious metalheads seek down in the gloomiest pit time and time again. At time this is volcanic metal with balls of steel that deserves so much more than being confined to some collector's shelf. Even the low budget 'High Hell Thrills' packs a punch that few bigger bands have possessed. This is hungry, atmospheric, genuine and powerful metal that never reached the masses. This one of those bands whose albums were worth the money even if just for the cover!Friday 1 April 2011
