Wolf - Edge of the World (1984)

Classy New Wave of British Heavy Metal styled metal, with husky vocal approach and darkly clad riffs, particularly on a slow builder such as 'A Soul For The Devil' with its melodic guitars. At tiems there's a lue Oyster Cult feel on this rarity. It's not a crushingly heavy album, far from it but there is an element of mysticism within its obscure nature. The keyboard laced 'Medicine Man' is a bit of a plodder and the title track with its simmering intro stirs the soul. A hidden gem of a record to some extent, everything about it reeks of nostalgia, and although the guitar sound is rather lukewarm, it's still a nice little listen by the glow of a full moon. 6/10
