Steel Fury - Lesser of Two Evils (1989)

More obscure thrash - after all, that's what we like best - this time from Steel Fury who, despite their charm do sound rather dated considering this is very much a Metallica mimic circa 'Ride the Lightning.' The vocals are very much in that James Hetfield vein and although the music isn't overtly heavy it's still a decent half-baked thrash record with my favourite numbers being 'Justice Day' and 'choose Death' but it's hard to believe that metal had really started to move on from '88 onwards especially with the likes of Faith No More injecting a high dose of innovation and colour. Even so, this type of bog standard thrash sounds all the more glorious so many decades later.
6.5/10
