TURBO - Ostatni Wojownik (1987/2001) POL

PRONIT RECORDS
CD remastered and reissued by Metal Mind Productions in 2001.
The re-release has a bonus track and different song order.
Un'altra delizia da includere, arriva anche questa dall'Est Europa precisamente dalla Polonia, secondo me è il miglior album dell'intera discografia dei TURBO. Il gruppo che nel 1980 era nato come hard rock band, lo si può sentire nel loro LP di esordio: "Doros³e Dzieci" del 1982. Negli albums successivi hanno cambiato il loro stile musicale passando per l' heavy metal fino allo speed/thrash del quarto LP, "Ostatni Wojownik". Straordinario disco, il quintetto sfodera un thrash abbastanza tecnico in cui mettono in mostra tutti i loro riff e melodie in true-old-soviet-style! Nel 1988 la Noise Records pubblicò l'edizione europea del disco re-intitolata "Last Warrior", uscì con cover differente, le canzoni con liriche in inglese e una bonus track. Nel 2001 è stata remasterizzata la versione originale del 1987 della Pronit Records, il cd contiene una bonus track (traccia n° 3 - Koñ Trojanski) e un ordine diffente delle canzoni. Un disco da avere ed ascoltare subito!

TURBO - Kawaleria Szatana (1986-2009) POL

PRONIT RECORDS
CD remastered and reissued in digipack by Metal Mind Productions in 2009.
In Europa, tra l'inizio e la metà degli 80's, la maggiore esportatrice di Metal è stata senza dubbio l'Inghilterra, seguita a ruota da Germania e Svezia. Tra questi paesi anche la Polonia, questa nazione in cui i ragazzi hanno una grande cultura della musica metal, certamente sono molto più inclini ad un metal più pesante ed accellerato ma questa cultura di fondo negli anni ha prodotto gruppi leggendari e ha dato loro, al metal fatto generalmente in Polonia, quel marchio che li contraddistingue: il Polish-Metal. Già dall'inizio degli anni 80's la Polonia ha sfornato gruppi tutt'altro che banali, tra tutti penso che siano i TURBO, un gruppo formatosi a Poznañ nel 1980. Dopo i primi due LP giudicati molto bene, usciti rispettivamente nel 1982 e nel 1985 e con le liriche cantate in polacco, come avverrà nella maggior parte dei loro dischi. Il loro terzo album, "Kawaleria Szatana" un capolavoro che sarà l'album della consacrazione non solo nella loro terra ma anche in varie parti d'Europa. Per visitare la homepage ufficiale del gruppo clicca sul link: www.turbo.art.pl oppure vista la loro pagina su MySpace. Le copertine dei cd io le trovo quasi sempre su www.mega-search.net.

RED ALERT - Break the Rules 7" (1980) UK

STATE RECORDS
Un altro gruppo con il nome di RED ALERT, diciamo questo è quello ufficiale anche se questo singolo a 2 tracce è l'unica loro testimonianza e non deve essere confuso con un altro omonimo apparso su "Metal For Muthas Vol. II", un gruppo di Yorkshire successivamente conosciuto con WILDFIRE. I RED ALERT, si formano a Lincolnshine attorno al 1978, un gruppo nato dalle ceneri di gruppi minori come SCAPA FLOW, SF2 e SEAGULL. Il gruppo si è costruito una buona reputazione nella zona attraverso concerti e serate in vari pub e locali, questo spinge il quintetto a registrare un demo su cassetta ed inviarlo a svariati negozi ed etichette musicali. Il loro demo sarà preso in considerazione dalla State Records, un'etichetta durata molto poco tempo forse quanto il gruppo.

Beautiful disc of one of the best groups of the early'80s of Heavy Metal and perhaps the best known group of NWOBHM.

HOLOCAUSTO - Campo de Exterminio (1987) [Reissue 2003] BRA

COGUMELO RECORDS
Featuring horrific cover art and perhaps even more horrific, a malignant sound combining brutal thrash, grindcore and black metal that was rarely heard, Holocausto made it’s way through the tape trading circuit in 1987 with their debut "Campo de Exterminio" which still stands as one of Brazil’s most violent and controversial albums to date. This stuff is so brutal, it makes Sepultura’s early material sound like the fuckin' bitch of Britney "Slut" Spears. If that isn’t the most stellar review an album of this stature and sound could garner, I don’t know what is. Holocausto split up in the early 1990’s after releasing three more albums, and have recently reformed in 2004 and put out a comeback album in 2005 entitled De Volta ao Front. I have yet to hear this new album, but I am anxiously looking for it because I want to hear what Holocausto sounds like over 20 years after their controversial debut release.
Despite it’s uncompromising cover art and questionable themes, "Campo de Exterminio" is a true example of extreme underground metal that was harsher than all the Death’s and Napalm Death’s at the time. This is the '03 Remaster includes one bonus track, "Massacre" taken from the "The Lost Tapes Of Cogumelo" compilation.

COVEN - Worship New Gods (1987) USA

CROM RECORDS
Il forum che mi ha fatto scoprire un sacco di album e gruppi sconosciuti ma leggendari è the corroseum, tra i tanti anche questo mitico "Worship New Gods", disco dei mitici COVEN, un gruppo di Detroit, nel Michigan, formatosi nel 1985. Nel 1987 firmano un contratto per la Crom Records e realizzano il loro debut album, un fantastico ed oscuro capolavoro di Heavy/Doom Metal con una fortissima influenza Epic dovuta al modo di cantare del fontman David Landrum. Le sue liriche parlano di mitologie nordiche, storie medieval/fantasy e di vita/morte, il tutto cantato in maniera molto teatrale, suonato dal resto del gruppo in modo a volte cadenzato e a volte più deciso, uno stile musicale e un' attitudine che è una via di mezzo tra SAINT VITUS e WITCHFINDER GENERAL. Questo primo full-length "Worship New Gods", è anche, purtroppo, il loro unico album realizzato nel corso dell' intera carriera, finita definitivamente nel 1991. Nel corso degli anni, il gruppo si scioglie e riforma diverse volte con diversi cambi di monicker e formazione. Nel 1989, dopo una rottura durata un' anno, il gruppo si riforma per suonare un paio di live con il nome/numero 1066, nel corso dell' anno stesso cambiano in COVEN 13 per ritornare temporaneamente nel 1990 come COVEN. Nel 1991, a pochi mesi dalla rottura definitiva, cambiano ancora il nome in COVEN 13, registrano un demo autoprodotto con ben otto canzoni inedite che sarà intitolato "Ragnarok". In conclusione, "Worship New Gods", è un disco stra-cult fondamentale del epic/doom metal anni '80s/'90s.

I Vandenberg sono un gruppo hard & heavy olandese formato nel 1981 dal chitarrista Adrian Vandenberg e scioltosi nel 1985. Nel libro di Martin Popoff, The Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal Vol.2 The '80s viene considerato un album da 10/10, conoscendo le contraddizioni di questo libro, non si può pensare che sia andato tanto lontano dalla realtà di giudizio, rimane comunque un disco di un gruppo molto sottovalutato.

Reissued on CD with 6 bonus tracks by Cult Metal Classics and different cover art. Unisound reissued the Cult Metal Classics version with the same tracklist but reverted back to the original cover art.
From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania formed in 1979, VALHALLA was a great epic/progressive metal. This album is a best of/compilation composed by their EP "Valhalla" released in 1984 and all their unreleased songs. All in this album is damn good. As far as I know they never released another LP, and it's too bad, as they were promising. They moved to Phoenix, the band folded and vocalist David Fefolt ended up in some cheesy L.A. based hair metal band.

IRON WORKS/ENIGMA ENTERTAINMENT
European import, featuring two full length albums, on one CD. "Castle Donnington", Iron Works label, 1984, and "Mind Over Metal", Enigma Entertainment, 1987. This amazing and hyper-rare CD is a double album released by the Houston, Texas group TYTON. Good review of "Mind Over Metal" in Heaven's Metal magazine at that time too. Maybe that fact they had one song "Arcadian" about God's only Son skewed them as a Christian Metal band. Great riffs, killer strong vocals with great highs and good production. How this band fell off the edge of the world I'll never know but anyone I've introduced this band to who likes 80's metal loves this. Castle Donnington album is low budget, but nice to have their complete catalog on 1 CD.

PURGATORY - Purgatory EP/Tied To The Trax (1985/1986) USA

J.U.F. RECORDS
This legendary speed/thrash group PURGATORY, was formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1984. In January of 1985, they entered Brittain Square Studios and recorded 4 songs - "Night Crawler Bitch", "Valley Of The Shadow Of Death", "Deep Into The Red", and "Purgatory (Shattered Vision)". The EP was released soon after, and sold roughly 1,000 copies.

Their first live gig, which would be in May at the Old Brooklyn Tavern. The show was a big success, and they began to get a lot of offers to play out. They eventually opened up for bands like Metal Church, Lizzy Borden, and Fates Warning -- as well as doing some headlining shows. In just a few short months, Purgatory was in all the local music press, as well as being one of the top draws on the local metal scene.

TRACKS:
1. Night Crawler Bitch
2. Valley Of the Shadow Of Death
3. Deep Into The Red
4. Purgatory (shattered vision)


AUBURN RECORDS
In the winter of 1985, Purgatory signed to Bill Peters and Auburn Records and began recording their debut LP "Tied To The Trax". The 9-song album was recorded at Suma Recording Studios and took several months to complete. New versions of the four songs from the EP were included, along with 5 new original tracks. All of the songs contained a strong mixture of speed, melody, and tempo changes -- something that gave Purgatory an identity of their own. Purgatory completed a licensing deal with the German based SPV/Steamhammer Records which would ensure worldwide exposure of the album. With the album completed, all that the guys could do was wait until its release. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but what lay ahead would be the biggest challenge for the band to face yet.
Prior to the LP's release, Greg Perry decided to leave the band. His departure took place around March of '86, and he cited musical differences as his reason for leaving. Purgatory got a replacement, Ed Whittingler, for a short while, but that didn't work out. By this time, Jeff and Mark were changing the direction of the band to a bit more thrash/speed metal. Randy was not feeling the new direction, and thought that the band lacked what it once had with Greg Perry and him on dueling guitars. So, in May of '86, Randy also left the band due to musical differences. And now, with a new album on its way out, Purgatory was left without any guitarists.
The 3 remaining members frantically searched for new guitar players. They came out of the search with Frank Romano and Dave Felton, two upcoming guitarists from the Cleveland area. Shortly thereafter, Greg Perry worked out his differences and rejoined Purgatory. After encountering musical differences, Dave Felton left the band. Purgatory had survived a major obstacle, and their optimism about the release of the new album had returned.

The band played out often and got a great response from the album. They played all through '86 and '87, and then the guys started to drift apart. Jeff started to have musical differences with the band, and ended up leaving the band in 1988. Greg Perry also made his second and final exit in '88. Kenny, Mark, and Frank stuck together and recruited guitarist Tony Ross and vocalist Andy Boyer. The new lineup sent the bands sound back to the early days of Purgatory. They released an EP titled "Dr. Pain" in early 1989, and played a few live shows before finally disbanding for good.
Despite being together for 5 years, Purgatory seemed to have an even more short-lived career. The band seemed to have such a promising future, and had a unique style in the local Cleveland metal scene. Purgatory only recorded one full-length album, but it had an impact in metal for years to come.

WARLORD - and the Cannons of Destruction have begun... (1984) USA

METAL BLADE RECORDS
Amazing! The 1984 is the best period for the Us epic, just think to all the masterpieces released in this period, from bands like CITH UNGOL, MANILLA ROAD, OMEN, MANOWAR ecc..
Any comment for this album is superfluous, every riff, melody and solo molds that are genuine gems of epic metal with connotations of chivalry and magic. His compositional ability is undoubtedly excellent, very original and imaginative. From a purely technical is not excessive display of virtuosity that is still not suited to the genre, however, shows more than one occasion to be able to speed executions also pretty much always supported smooth and harmonious. The magnificence and the great historical importance of a disc like this, that has influenced many subsequent bands, a disc really hard to review for his immense musical value, not only epic in scope, but in all the metal scene.

METAL MASSACRE - Volume 2 (1982) USA

METAL BLADE RECORDS
The second Metal Massacre compilation didn't introduce a legendary band like Metallica (Metal Massacre, Vol. 1) or Slayer (Metal Massacre, Vol. 3), but it still unleashed a wave of impressive artists from the developing California metal scene.
The biggest names featured on Metal Massacre II are Armored Saint and Overkill, both of which are (more or less) active to this day. The compilation also introduced cult metal favorites Obsession, Savage Grace and Warlord. The rest of the artists featured here either had one-album careers (3rd Stage Alert, Trauma, Hyksos) or never released an album at all (Surgical Steel, Dietrich, Molten Leather, Aloha). Trauma, of course, was Cliff Burton's pre-Metallica band and Aloha (later Hawaii) featured Marty Friedman, pre-Megadeth.

It's not the game changer that Metal Massacre I was, but Metal Massacre II is still an important release in metal history. Between the bands that made it, and those that were never heard from again, Metal Massacre II is a great snapshot of the early 80's power and thrash metal scene that Metal Blade played such a large role in establishing

METAL MASSACRE - Volume 4 (1983) USA

Oh yeah, this one's an overlooked gem alright. As with most various-artist compilations, there are low points.(Medieval's "Medieval" comes to mind.) However, if you'll look at the liner notes, you'll see that, aside from Lizzy Borden, the disc's strongest cuts come from Midwestern (Ilinois to be exact) bands. CASE IN POINT: Trouble's mind-numbingly brilliant "The Last Judgement." However, the true glory here lies in War Cry's magnificent "Forbidden Evil." I may be in the minority here, but this is one the heaviest things ever scorched to vinyl. How such an astonishingly foul breath of black wind could be concocted by such a young, unknown band is beyond science. Can't help but wonder what the hell ever happened to War Cry. Suffice to say, the War Cry track and the rare Trouble track are worth the price of the CD alone.

IRON ANGEL - Winds of War (1986) GER

STEAMHAMMER RECORDS
2004 Remastered by MSI Music label incluides 7 live bonus track from "HELLISH CROSSFIRE" Tour in 1985.
WINDS OF WAR was heavily criticized upon its release. However, anyone listening to the album nowadays can see how inappropriate this criticism was. It´s a lesson in metal and shows a natural progression to the sound portrayed on HELLISH CROSSFIRE, having tracks like METALSTORM, STRONGER THAN STEEL and SEA OF FLAMES as outstanding highlights. However, the changes in both the band´s sound and lyrics made the members start having different opinions about the band´s future. Some wanted to keep the HELLISH CROSSFIRE sound, while the others intended to change even more, adopting a more Glam / Hard Rock oriented style, so that they could reach the American market. Due to these huge differences, the band broke up shortly after the release of this second album. Jürgen R. Blackmore, the son of Ritchie Blackmore, was guest guitarist on "Winds of War". In 1990 he founded the band Superstition together with Dirk Schröder and Mike Matthes.
Peter Wittke and Gunter Moritz, who had temporary replaced Lohmann on Iron Angel's Germany tour with King Diamond in 1986, later founded Roots.

US METAL - Volume 8 (1993) USA

AMERICAN LEGEND RECORDS
Deep regarding who it has re-bootlegged in CD these masterpiece of US Heavy/Speed Metal. The US METAL' volumes is composed from 12 CD, therefore till volume 12.
...it would be beautiful to be able to insert them all the 12 volumes, so as to complete this interesting collection and to have the possibility to listen some extremely rare albums and good forgotten early Metal.

The CD begins with the MiniLP "Ready For Action"(Tracks:01/06) by US'BLITZKRIEG that I have already posted a review (click) here.
The second's Canadians ASSAULT with their sole release "Survival In The Street"(Tracks:07/14), amazing Speed Metal, the album gives a full-blown metal assault without being generic. It uses awesome riffs and killer drumming combined with great vocals.
The third group that follows is the ultra-obscure M.C. BLADE (remains unknown where and when they have been formed this us Melodic Metal group), their EP "Step Into The Light"(Tracks:15/18) almost impossible to find on original vinyl, the title-track is one of the best metalsongs(underrated) ever heard, some two minute acoustic guitarwork, before a majestic riff opens an overwhelming epic hymn. Carried by the sublime voice of Mark Carolans you feel like proudly singing your national anthem when it comes to the chorus.
Highly recommended, take this album when possible, it contains a greatest metal classics!
