Razor: Evil Invaders LP

Wolf (jap): same LP: Great powermetal from Japan, some incredible great tracks, only the last song is a total abortion, really what the fuck were they thinking.

SORCERY - TILL DEATH DO WE PART. OK, the whole album is generally average but "Borderline" is a killer crossover track! Not sure if it's really worth as much as it is supposed to...

Is it the same band that released Stuntrock and Sinister Soldiers? The album covers look very similar but Till Death Do We Part doesn't appear in their discography.

I think it's a different band. Can anyone who knows good German read the Metalpage review and tell us?

AMETHYST - Outside of Nowhere

The last track on this one is a real US metal gem imo. Hoping for a nice reissue one day...

Well I could make out enough to confirm its the same band perhaps Till Death Do We Part is the only "Metal" album they put out?


Bereits 1978 erschien die unter 70er-Hardrock-Sammlern begehrte und legendäre Doppel-LP „Sinister Soldiers“, als Original fast unbezahlbar und auch in Form eines Bootlegs in Umlauf. Der enthaltene Psych-Hardrock wich auf dem hier vorliegenden Nachfolgewerk dem leicht progressiven Hard/Heavy-Rock und ist somit durchaus als Vorstufe des US-Metals zu sehen. Das genial-naive Coverartwork mit dem grenzdebil-dreinschauenden, kreuzbewehrten Sensenmann, der schon auf dem Erstlingswerk als Covermotiv herhalten musste, ist schon für sich alleine Kult, die Vinyltentakel werden überdies bei der erstmaligen Coverkartonbefummelung vor Freude zucken, so dick und fest ist jener Lümmel. Die gute alte Hammond-Orgel trifft auf eine Unmenge von Gitarrenduellen, NWOBHM paart sich mit unverfälschten Rock’n Roll. Wer auf Truppen wie CROWHAVEN, SURVIVOR („All your pretty moves“), CRYSIS, TAILGUNNER, LOOSELY TIGHT und ähnlichen Gebilden abfährt, kann hier seinen Gelüsten freien Lauf lassen. Nicht zu verwechseln ist diese Truppe mit den SORCERY aus den Staaten, deren LP „Stunt Rock“ nur in Belgien erschienen ist, welche noch dazu einem ähnlichen Musikstil frönten.

The real question is why wouldn't they list the album on their main website and why wouldn't metal archives show the first 2 albums as they do for other hard rock bands that turn metal.

Death.. and Sinister.. is the same band, Stunt Rock is a different band and a movie soundtrack. I'm not sure if the band really existed as a group.

Metal Inferno sampler: "Laying down the law" by Cloven Hoof is a personal favourite of mine. The rest of this sampler is great too.
