Ravage - Wrecking Ball (1986)

It's straight up metal from 1986, what more do you want me to say? Ravage live up to the title of their album name, playing balls out testosterone fuelled metal in the form of sweat-soaked tracks such as 'Battle Stations' and the scorching 'Slow The Hammer Down' with its killer intro. There's nothing subtle about these metal-heads, who simply opt to go for the throat with their rampant brand of fiery metal. Vocally, it's all very much from the hairy chest area, caveman metal that pounds hard on the door and I'm proud to say that I've given this muscle buster several spins over the years, so it's the least you can do to. Always finding myself abck with the dazzling riff of 'Slow The Hammer...' which is definitely the albums high point. 7.5/10
