Some of you may be familiar with the work of Teeside band Millennium from their two songs on the 1983 Guardian Records compilation LP, "Pure Overkill", i'm betting far fewer of you know their sole, self-titled 1984 album. This is some fine sturdy working class British Metal which may have done better at the time had Guardian not been teetering on the brink of collapse at the time of it's release. Undettered by their label going belly up, Millennium recorded a follow up album at their own expense, but were unable to secure a new deal for it's release. Recording further demos in '86 & '87, Millennium sadly remained unsigned, calling it quits in late 1987.
Singer Mark Duffy eventually reappeared with Brit Thrash band TORANAGA, releasing 2 albums & an EP, later forming X-SEED who released the "Desolation" album in 1996.
"Millennium"'s stand out track, "The Devil Rides Out" makes this one worth the d/l all by itself.
