Metal Priest - Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human) 1986)

Strangely awkward title for an awkward sound band - these German rockers boast wretched vocals that seem a weird, lesser mix of Halford and a tortured Lemmy. A few scorching tracks on offer however which raise an eyebrow, the title track and 'Pyromania' being my personal favourites whilst the slow build of 'Out For Love' struts like AC/DC but the drums pack the punch of a wet sock. Somewhat peculiar in its obscurity and wrapped in a peculiar sleeve, Metal Priest attack like a de-clawed dog that has lost its teeth and yet its appearance still causes concern...where on earth do these bands come from!
