Satan would later change it’s name to Blind fury because they didn’t want to be associated with the growing number of satanic bands coming mostly from the newly emerging thrash metal movement, they released an excellent album titled "Out Of Reach featuring the same flawless musicianship and strong numbers, but without the great Brian Ross and with a cleaner production than on "Court in the act" the magic seemed to have disappeared though "Out Of Reach" is still recommended.
Blind Fury is essentially the band Satan became, as the line-up is identical with the exception of new vocalist Lou Taylor. You’d expect a simple name-change to be of no importance, but it’s pretty clear that the band had a new, although not all too different, style to boot. Songwriting is mostly of a traditional-rock and roll uplifting, playful nature with lots of various tributes to that lifestyle, and the appropriate simplicity to accompany it too. However, one needs only change focus to see the true nature of this album. Underneath, (mostly) dark, technical, borderline surreal – and very original – guitar playing reigns supreme, and is the one reason "Out of Reach" is of so much interest. Pretty much every note bears a meaning of importance. Once you hit play, it gets increasingly difficult to stop listening, as every second gets more and more interesting. It leaves you with the feeling of wanting more and more and more, until you realize you’ve spun the damn thing twenty times over already. The reason: Steve Ramsey and Russ Tippins. I am completely sincere when I say that "Out of Reach" has some of the most impressive guitar playing I’ve ever heard. It may not be as technical and fast as their "Court in the Act", but what it lacks in speed it makes up for in originality. A lot can be said about their projects, good and bad, but they were in my opinion the best guitar duo to come out of the NWOBHM.
