Widowmaker - Blood & Bullets (1992)

Wrong time to release this record - shame, because Widowmaker is a Twisted Sister for the '90s. The curly haired one was always a fave of mine, and despite being a talented guy, those distinctive always remind of TS whatever he does. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with that. Widowmaker are a far moodier affair, less glam juice, more stripped down metal, although tracks like 'Calling For You' still have that wholesome glam edge. 'Evil' cranks up the guitars, but it's still a record out of place, probably released withy no awareness to the imminent grunge invasion, but still worth checking out if you like Dee's massive, meaty voice. I'm surprised it didn't make an impact consider how Alice Cooper managed to continue on through the decade. 6.5/10
