Leather Angel - We Came To Kill (1982)

Great band name, great album title, great album cover - or maybe it's just me with the heavy metal beer giggles on. This obscure six track rocker is some smoking hot female basement metal kickstarted by the ominous plod of the title track. Deary's vocals are not the strongest, they seem to be swallowed by the primal drum thud and buzzing guitars, but it's dense '80s metal at its finest. Even the cover of Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love' is pretty tight, but I would've preferred another track from these gals. 'We Came...' is the sort of record I can play today and still get a buzz off and it's an album that porves that '80s metal wasn't just about male metal posing. Hats off to Leather Angel for this platter. 7/10
