Genre: More Metal from Metal Guys who Metal

3.75 out of 5

Highlights:

Slave to Moonlight

Much as I was bored to tears by the previous Stormwitch records, I actually had a lot of fun with this one. If you get me to air guitar or air drum whilst listening, I’m gonna rat you higher. 

I was the Tom Cruise of Shredders on this one.

Remember Stormwitch? No?

They had an album called Walpurgis the year before. 

This one takes itself just as seriously. And it’s just as dumb.

I mean, “Sword of Sagon”? That’s some Spinal Tap-in shit there. (I kinnnnnda like it, tho)

These guys are…still together. Though it was really the Vocalist who kept the thing going seconded by the bassist. And they are still out there, plugging away. (The drummer hung in there for a while, too)

Hey, beats working.

Oh
my
fucking
god.

1984 was really the year every label decided they need their own Judas Priest.
They ALL SOUND ALIKE. They are all singing about stupid shit with blazing guitars and soaring vocals and, maybe MAYBE, if I heard this at the beginnging of the year I wouldn't hate it with the fire of a thousand suns, but, sorry, Stormwitch, you were late to this party and I want you to go away.
