Uncompromising war on metallic modernism under the dictatorship of The Corroseum.

Certainly a killer release, but first and foremost a Speed Metal band, even more so than for instance ADRAMELCH or CREDO.The Sentinel wrote:Well, what about Defender: City Ad Mortis? It's fast but with a lot of melody.
I still haven't heard neither of their albums actually, only saw their awkward appearance in the Metal City video together w/ Venom and Avenger years ago. They were so gay I crapped my pants. It was such a big turn off that I probably never will be able to gather enough courage to buy a Saracen album, if I'm gonna change my mind I will have to be force fed.DaN wrote:Have you actually heard HS&F? Or only the weak follow-up "Change of Heart"? This is fantastic, epic/melodic/progressive NWOBHM!

Any 2nd opinions? If it is indeed from the "Change of Heart"-era, Mordred's observation might very well be correct.
LEATHER NUNN very melodic?metalmaster wrote:Whta about these?
Twiligt project, Leather Nunn, Galaxy?? I find them very melodic but pretty good in deed
Please listen carefully to "Mental Asylum", "Taken Ground'' or ''Leather Nunn''. An agressive, HEAVY metal holocaust. 2 trax only are melodic for god's sake, not the whole album.Twilight Project - not one of my faves, but fans of Scandinavian Melodic HM/HR and YJM should get into this. Their old demo under the ZARAGONE-monicker kills!metalmaster wrote:Whta about these?

) have made some of the best hard rock songs in music history!That's 100% correct.DaN wrote: Their old demo under the ZARAGONE-monicker kills!
Well I meant: it is melodic "un-gay" because has that noticeable touch of aggression besides the melody, which in my opinion is an excellent combination that takes this album over the top. I wouldnt call it "heavy metal holocaust" for sure... I think the vocals are the most melodic part...ION BRITTON wrote:metalmaster wrote:Whta about these?

Once I find my bloody flash memory (already full of stuff I was supposed to upload) I'll take care of it.Fucking Åmål wrote:What about ARROW-Diary Of A Soldier i think ARROW were one of the 20 best swedish bands ever.I am looking like a maniac for their single ANYONE FOR UPLOAD?
But i certainly will. The guitar intro and outro on "Mental asylum" is simply skullcrushing. You won't find such demented noise soloing in any other US metal release. Totally aggressive riffing on "Taken ground" and "Another bite". And a really heavy feeling on both "Leather Nunn" and "Mental Asylum". If you want a comparison , well, then they sound like early MOTLEY CRUE bastardized with the heaviest moments of JUDAS PRIEST. As far as the vocals are concerned: The singer certainly hasn't got the most brutal voice in the US scene, but i can't call him a melodic one either. Examples of melodic singers are: Midnight, Ray Alder, Geoff Tate, Tony Moore, Tim Lachmann (Gargoyle) etc. Does he really sound so melodic as these guys? For me absolutely not.metalmaster wrote:I wouldnt call it "heavy metal holocaust" for sure... I think the vocals are the most melodic part...
