Tracklist side A:
- PANZA DIVISION - Blitz
Hard Rock standard. - MANITOU - Manitou
Dark, heavy, psychedelic, brilliant! Like a mix of Legend, Hawkwind and Dawnwatcher. - SAVAGE - Let It Loose
Excellent Speed-NWOBHM covered by Metallica a few months later, thus becoming legendary. - SPARTA - Lords Of Time
One of the heaviest & most underrated bands of the NWOBHM scene. A stomping, evil MONSTER of a song w/ supercatchy, sledgehammer riffing.
Tracklist side B:
- TYRANT - Day Of The Knight
Real cool, amateurish Metal w/ a faint mysterious vibe. No relation to the "Hold Back The Lightning"-Tyrant. - PANZA DIVISION - The Day Delta 4 Played Mars
Should be a generic rocker but for some reasong I love this song. Maybe it's the camp sci-fi narrative? - SAVAGE - Dirty Money
Mid-pace Metal standard (high) - TYRANT - Sanctuary
Epic yet somewhat simple Metal w/ moody aucustic parts that in no way softens up the overall sound. - MANITOU - Overlord
A bit more r'n'r than their previous song but still great NWOBHM that would have fit in nicely among those early Heavy Metal Records acts.
