Saints Anger - Danger Metal (1985)

Blimey guv, this is a real headbanger of a record. I'm now wondering where Metallica got there album title 'St Anger' from ?! Mind you, I'd much rather listen to the fury of 'Danger Metal' because this is superb German metal with high pitched vocals which cut like a razor. Even today this album sounds fresh, great production and guitar work that early Metallica would be proud of and a real cool groove to the sound. I suppose this could be deemed classic metal, apart from the fact no-one has heard of it, but boy, it's just so tight, big on melody when you hear a track like the mid-tempo 'Highway' and the epic 'Megalomania' and devil horns to the fiery 'Crashing On Steel' with vocals from hell. Burning metal. 7/10
