As debut albums g this is one of the finest in metal history and the cover isn't bad either! Fist-pumping metal it most certainly is; the sort of studded tumult that band's to this day are still trying to replicate, but often fail miserably. Featuring the distinctive vocals of Ron Keel - who had featured for Steeler the year previous - 'Lay Down The Law' boasts nine tracks, only one of this is a major let-down, that being the cover of the Rolling Stones' 'Let's Spend The Night Together', but everything else is pretty emblazoned with that signature Keel sound ranging from the explosive opener 'Thunder & Lightning' to the pounding melody of the title track. Some excellent axe-work here to from Marc Ferrari.
7.5/10
