Krokus - Pay It In Metal (1978)

Krokus, a band who seemingly have released a thousand albums, some good, some incredibly average - the half-decently titled 'Pay It In metal' (considering it's 1978!) leans toward the former thankfully. Better track titles ('Killer', 'Werewolf') and some decent rock to back it up, the band however do like to dabble with a boogie groove or two, i.e. 'Rock Ladies'. Pretty basic, but after Sabbath and the likes it's a massive shadow to escape from, so Krokus are clearly happy to do their own thing, and although it hasn't got a bad bone in its body, it manages to not quite embarrass itself, but I'm preferring the more ballsy 'Headhunter'.
6/10
