Surprisingly superb Metal on this poser-like appearing record! They do only look like Posers, but their steel was american influenced (non-british) sounding powerful Melodic Metal, definitely not what you can expect by a common british band. It still takes my breath away when I think about "Hammer to the heart", quite outstanding pounding DOKKEN/LION-ish style, rough, a bit raunchy yet melodic vocalist, american style choruses, non-british guitar playing, solos that burn thru your ears, heavy as fuck production. Belongs to every collection!
Just a note at the end, there are different editions available, the white sleeve cover is a private edition on Hammer Records with the 4 tracks mentioned below, the Poser-pic cover is a german pressing made in 1990 with "All in the name of Rock" missing but instead is featuring 2 versions of "Don't wait (until tomorrow)". That version is quite problemlessly to grab everywhere, but for the first pressing the story looks completely different.
