preview  Lance King preview  A Moment in Chiros (2011) 100/100    Jan 11, 2023
A Moment in Chiros As the owner of progressive/power metal record label Nightmare Records and former vocalist of underground classic bands such as Balance of Power and Pyramaze, Lance King’s pedigree, experience and success in the metal scene far exceed what many metal musicians will ever hope to attain, or even dream of. It was not until 2011, however, that he attempted to create an Ayreon-style solo album, with himself as the singer-lyricist (the only singer, unlike Mr. Lucassen’s projects) and many of his labelmates, business associates and musical contemporaries lending instrumental talents. The result of this collective effort is an hour of progressive, heavy power metal with extensive, thought-provoking lyrical depth, written, recorded, and produced in mere weeks. If this task sounds too incredible ... See More
preview  Judas Priest preview  Painkiller (1990) 100/100    Jan 11, 2023
Painkiller Judas Priest are one of the most important bands in the history of metal. They exist since the 1970s and have influenced thousands and thousands of acts. Yet the pinnacle of their career coincides with a record released just in 1990, probably the most extreme and heavy of their entire discography.

It obviously is Painkiller, one of the most powerful albums in the history of music. In facts, while the first records were still quite "delicate", while remaining metal, this is the musical version of taking a hammer to the teeth.

To confirm this, the titletrack starts with Scott Travis pounding the drums and a nice riff, not particularly fast but pressing and completely devastating. There is not a moment of rest for the whole song, which runs for six minutes between rapid solos, apocalypt ... See More

preview  Def Leppard preview  On Through the Night (1980) 40/100    Aug 23, 2022
On Through the Night Straight off the cricket bat : the band disowns this album so by that virtue alone it’s one of their worst albums. But seriously, this is very much a curiosity in Metal music history – I suppose it’s still strictly a hard rock album, but Deaf Leopard never were all too certain about their own actual "metalness". By the time they’d actually realised how to write more than two good songs per record they’d all but ditched anything that could be considered "NWOBHM" for the frankly excellent AC/DC-derived hard rock of High N Dry. Then of course, they realised the fastest way out of Sheffield was via pop music and they actually were successful with that for a time being.

Deaf Leopard was technically one of the big bands to emerge from the "NWOBHM" movement – but the actual "NWOBHM ... See More
