DIAMOND HEAD - It's Electric NWOBHM classic or NWOBHM standard, you decide.
FIST - Brain Damage HARD Metal with a pounding 'Power Metal' riff probably ripped off from some old Priest-classic and later by numerous Thrashers. Yummy!
RAVEN - Let It Rip 'Schoolyard Bullies Metal' should be a genre.
PROWLER - Gotta Get Back To You Your average 70's/80's HM/HR-clash. Not to be confused w/ the band who did the 'Forgotten Angel' and 'Alcatraz' singles.
SLEDGEHAMMER - Fantasia Superb, rollin', rumlin' lead riff and the kind of wild & expressive vocals often missed in later scenes.
COLIN TOWNS - Breakdown Quite listenable 70's Heavy Rock w/ some nifty keys. And more manic vocals! Colin also played w/ Gillan.
Tracklist side B:
MICK UNDERWOOD - Earthquake At The Savoy Jawdropping. One of the greatest Hard Rock/NWOBHM instrumentals ever, crushing everything in sight (the rest of the album, that is..) Mick also played w/ Gillan.
WHITE SPIRIT - Back To The Grind Surprised myself by liking this despite it being pure 70's hard rock. Guess that should count for something..
QUARTZ - Can't Say No To You Same as above but the complete opposite.
XERO - Hold On Radio-friendly hard rock in the style of post-Dio Rainbow.
CRYER - Day To Day Reminds me of Angel Witch's softer moments. Good ballad (!?!?)
MAY WEST - Black Queen "Archetypical NWOBHM", at least by 79/80 standards. Here's to the unknowns..
