Tyran Pace - Long Live Metal (1985)

One can only be moved by this slab of molten metal. This has a strong Judas Priest and Accept fell to it, opener 'Shockwaves' is a real denim n leather fist-pumper that rattles along at quite a pace. This slab of a record should please anyone who likes their metal powerful, relatively macho and anthemic. Vocalist Ralph Scheepers is a poor man's Rob Halford, but it's still gripping metal that ploughs a fiery path particularly with the twin guitar attack of Kaufmann and Rapallo. 'Red Sweat' 'Law And Order' and the likes are pretty blunt messages, all delivered with fury and savagery. It's the kind of album that sums up mid '80s Euro metal, and I'm not gonna argue with this beast of a record, although I'm sure Judas Priest might have something to say about it! 7/10
