Angus - Track of Doom (1986)

These metal-heads may have one of the worst band names of all time but with a cover depicting two centaurs you just know this creaky obscurity is going to live up to expectation. This is 38 minutes of top quality NWOBHM styled metal which goes full-throttle from the first whistle until the last, featuring scorching guitars, racing drums, cool metallic chest-pounding melodies and epic vocals which at times do tend to wobble, but hell, when the guy is rattling on about flying monsters and destruction we can't really argue. Imagine a basement version of Dio but still maintaining that dragon-fire charm which comes to the fore wit the face-melting shredding of 'When Giants Collide' and the smokin' title track. The perfect ingredient when stokin' that bubbling heavy metal fire.
7.5/10
