Krank - Hideous (1986)

Hard to knock a band who play such wild, flailing metal. Krank, a great name - if no other metal bands existed! - weave together Accept style rumblings with the fiery leather of Priest, all raging, full fisting fury, riding on waves of volcanic guitars, crashing drums and hellish vocals. 'Head Like A Rock', 'No More Lies', 'Rented Heat', pumping with that same masculinity that dosed up Raven and countless other studded bastards. Pure metal in other words, and whilst a tad predictable the fury alone will keep even the most weary metalheads up all night...and maybe even begging for more. The sort of record that makes you sweat just by glaring at the cover.

7/10
