Just choke on the black fumes of this German band's debut release. 'Metal Lightning Attack' is a straight up metal platter that makes heads bang and bones rattle. Imagine a stuffy Motorhead mixed with a blackened, thrashy fury or even the embers of say Possessed, particularly in the vocal sneers of "Metal Harry" who rattles the bass too. At times 'metal...' is a pacey record, propped up by the likes of 'Burn It Down' which is hell-bent on removing the skin from your face, but there's a catchy element to this, even a hint of boogie dare I say it with tracks such as 'Fearless Heartless' but the band are at their most dangerous when they just go for it, 'Rock Shock' a prime example of the oily nature of this piece of filth. Damn those German metal-heads could rock, a great country when it comes to producing quality metal in the '80s.
7/10
