Yes, the cover is needless.
Otherwise I would call this record a "Metal record".
Metal = Steel!!!
Argumentation done.

I'm not trying to argue in a negative way, but I think calling this materail 'pure metal' as 'steel' would suggest is misleading. It's a great LP everyone should own, but it sure ain't heavy.

Well, it's not that easy to define what it is, but I agree on
"It's a great LP everyone should own [...]".
(shame on me that I only own the vinyl "re-issue"...do you know if this was an official one???)

Just from memory I think the Metal Legions represses aren't offical...

"Good" to know.
I spent 12€ on this one (flea market) in naive believe to have bought an official re-release.

H-Bomb, one of my favorite bands from France
United Forces - Really obscure thrash speed with great bass work

"Attaque" is in the same vein as "Coup de Metal", even better !! If you've enjoyed the Ep, you'll like "Attaque" !!

I'm quite selective regarding French-singed metal, so, I'll see that. I obviously know them by the name but never dig them properly.

VERY selective if you ask me, you excluded one of the 3 best French Metal Records.

True.H-BOMB is such an underrated band.
I prefer ''Coup De Metal'' EP than ''Attaque'' though.

3 different decades:
BLAZE S/T cd 2007 (Osaka - Japan ) The best metal album for me the last ...many years- Nwobhm meets Heavy Load + Schenker on guitar....THE MOST 80'S SOUNDING BAND OF THE 00'S.... PURE METAL MANIA!!!!!
DESTINY'S END Breathe deep the dark ( Just killer! POWERDRIVEN us power metal, at least as good as Helstar !!!!!!)
DARK WIZARD Devil's victim ( by far one of the best 80's ep...METAL WITH BALLS!!!!!)
