CONTENT

bold = exclusive track / normal = non-exclusive track / italic = non-metal

1.I.O.F.K. - Choral
Novelty/arty choral spoof.
BANKER'S FRUST - Head Over Heels
Muzak poprock.
LAKEHURST - Dream And Reality
After an ultra(infra?)-soft first half we're presented with a quite decent HR/HM semi-ballad with some chugging riffage in the 2nd half.
SWORD - Rock En Quarantaine
Rough & pummeling Hard Rock that starts moving towards rough & pummeling NWOHM as the song progresses.
ECLIPSE OF THE SUN - Eyes Of Satan
Indeed the same band with Croatian origins that later released the "Real Rock'n'Roller" and "Let It Happen Tonight" albums. Here they're on a late-60's proto-HR/boogie-psych trip, despite the metallic song title.

LAKEHURST - Lonely Island
Hard to pinpoint HR/prog 'crossover' with good melodies and plenty of light/shade. Similarities to bands like Legend, Ashbury and Omega are present, but this particular tune carries no real Metal-markers.
BANKER'S FRUST - Skywalk
Mellow pop instrumental.
1.I.O.F.K. - Napalm
Einstürzende Neubauten minus the scrap-metal.
ECLIPSE OF THE SUN - Tears
70's Hard Rock with a poppy chorus.
SWORD - Cauchemard
Stompy NWOBHM '79, Frenc'ified into something quite similar to early Satan Jokers or Attentat Rock. Nice chorus..
