Blind Vengeance - Taste of Sin (1984)

Well, it seems as if the letter 'B' has been getting a lot of exposure recently on this blog - it's certainly not intentional; most of these reviews being random acts of my madness. Blind Vengeance hailed from Canada and were fronted by one Harry Hess who went on to steer Harem Scarem; but on this ten-track opus he's far less impressive but it's still a dense-dose of driving, mid-paced metal featuring many highlights amidst the smog - most notably the chugging title cut and the hair-frazzling 'Give Me the Night' which is one of the band's racier efforts. Like so much of this stuff there is an air of the enchanting about it; because whilst not overtly epic it rises above the average production to become an opus that showcases a lot of metallic talent more so in the effective guitar groans and fizzes of Darryl Frattura.
7/10
