Burn - s/t (1984)

Burn were a fantastic Swedish metal band who were unknown and yet responsible for this scorcher of a record. Just a few spins and you'll be swamped that wicked guitar tone as the riffs and solos literally blitz the ears. Vocally it's nothing out of the ordinary but the beefy tones of Tom Oakland, with their Dave Lee Roth type croon do go hand in hand with that rich guitar sound, and with tracks like 'The Rebel' and 'Make Her Mine' this New Wave of British Heavy Metal-styled groove machine should keep you happy for hours. Fans of early Tygers of Pan Tang may find this a gem of a record
7/10
