STRIKE – Back In Flames LP

Description

Holy shit this is a fuckin’ belter! These guys are famous for having released the first heavy metal LP from Italy and….here it is, along with four bonus cuts! Listening to this as I type I’m astonished these lads never got much of a big name for themselves because this is really top class heavy metal. Really sharp production that brings to mind the best Judas Priest albums (Sad Wings to Killing Machine now you ask!) everything about this record is bang on point and while the obscure weirdo demos from Italy are often amazing, it’s nice to head and actual proper album from the country produced within the key period. Highly recommended!! 200 copies on black vinyl.
