Angeles del Inffierno - Diabolica (1985)


I haven't got a clue about Spanish heavy metal, but if I'd have heard this when I were a lad, then I'd have been setting fire to plastic skulls way into the small hours. This is quality heavy metal, and don't be put off by the Spanish lyrics, because if you like your guitars loud, your music mystical and your leather tight (okay, maybe not the last one!), then this is for you. Imagine a power metal Dio, cool, heavy riffs ('Con Las Botas Puestas'), anthemic ('Fuera De La Lay'), and some great solo's ala Priest ('Prisionero'). Raise your fist and yell indeed. And what an album cover!
