Savage Steel - Do Or Die (1988)

Oh yeeeaahhhh! This is some raging metal from the late '80s hell bent on raising those fists, and what a great album cover - mean and moody - and with a cut like the rollicking 'Men Of War' how can you go wrong. This is extremely solid metal, some great speeding guitars give it a thrashy power metal edge, and vocally it's like a lighter Bruce Dickinson at times, but give me this any day, 'It's Do Or Die' has a Gothic Metallica clunk to its intro, before the drum rolls into a hyper speed pounder complete with Gleneicki's screams. Conventional metal it may be but it has enough meat and speed to sit alongside a band like Nasty Savage. Do or die! 7/10
