Genre: Metal

I blame Ghostbusters. Obviously the same people who saw Spinal Tap and thought it was a documentary then saw Ghostbusters and thought that the mouth of hell had actually opened and decided the best way to combat it was by bringing the Rawk! Except for bands like Bathory who wanted to bring forth the hell demons. It was a battle not between demons but between the rock and roll soldiers who went to battle to defend/defeat them.
It is really really hard for me to get over the fact that these records all came 30 years after “Rock Around the Clock”.
This stuff is 34 years old. More time has passed SINCE it’s release than between Bill Haley and Warlock. 
That’s weird. This is actually more accessible than most in this category but it’s really not all that inspiring. Better than their last, but that’s nor really saying much.
