Stonehenge - Wings of Steel (1986)

The career of these metallers from New Zaland was more of a snippet - and it's no wonder they vanished considering just how many bands shared the same name. Even so, it's quite an obscure little three-track EP that feature some of the murkiest, raspiest vocals I've ever heard, although the music in general is rather dated, even with Medieval overtones on the title track. Hard to find this one which is why I wanted to review it and give it some exposure. I'm still unsure of vocalist Djamil Rodop can actually sing as he's so far back in the mix, and whilst the guitars and drums plod with some intent it all becomes a bit of a haze, but if you happen to come across this platter for cheap then make sure you snap it up.
5.5/10
