Leatherwolf - Street Ready (1989)

Not sure if Leatherwolf are ready for the streets dressed like that! This is lightweight power metal - if such a thing exists, Leatherwolf keen to tell us about 'The Way I Feel' and to 'Take A Chance' on that 'Lonely Road' of their 'Wicked Ways'. Must admit that I was pleasantly surprised by these guys, this has a late '80s look to it but for the most part burns the ears with elements of thrash even thrown in for good measure. At times there is a strong early Metal Church feel, the band not afraid to get aggressive or to mix styles. It certainly lives up to its name, having a rather bruising approach, so this is definitely worth giving a spin and more. This is kick ass metal. 7.5/10
