1) Fallen Idol
2) Pounding Energy
Enduring early Australian metal pioneers who started pedaling their wares in the late 70's. A sound comparable to Judas Priest (Point Of Entry / Killing Machine era), the distinctive vocal vibrato of singer Gordon Heals, & razor edge riffs Barney Fakhouri will connect with fans of later 70's and early 80's Scorpions & Priest. Mid pace hard rock workouts Break And Bend & Fallen Idol has pumping bass & solid driving beat while Nine Lives and Pounding energy pick up the pace for some solid workman like metal. Leather, studs & hair this is unquestionably pure traditional metal which is a very good thing indeed.
