Buried By Time and Dust- DUST 004 ATTAK- VENI VIDI VICI

One day at the BBTAD compound while drinking beers and blasting tunes a neighbor approached, for sure we thought to complain about the loud metal blasting as is the daily custom. Suprisingly she introduced herself and said her husband used to be in a metal band, we asked which one and she said Max Lynx. Russ was already a big fan of their 1983 Take One lp and shortly a friendship between he and Jerry Cross was immediately struck.

One day Jerry was talking about the other band he used to be in Attak and how he thought they were superior to Max Lynx and he would drop by the demo one day. Some time later Russ showed up to my house with the a copy of the demo and we popped it in. Within minutes we were being pasted to the wall with some of the most killer power metal we had heard in years, honestly amazing!. The recording features the bands two demos, both recorded in 1985 and inspired by 80's Judas Priest, Siren's era Savatage,Exciter,Manowar, Virgin Steele and the NWOBHM.

The record is guaranteed to weed out indie hipsters and the more fancy of you will be repulsed in droves while the truly pure of heart bangers with metal in their blood will find a treasure resulting in aching necks,fists in the air and guzzling from ale horns. The galloping riffs,commanding searing vocals and smoking lead work will confirm what many of us know already, the eighties ruled. Come experience the power and the glory of ATTAK! OUT IN JANUARY!

Nice.

Yeah, those pics look like a vinyl sleeve.

I'll have to throw this on the "To Buy" list.

Solid us metal. Two first tracks didnt impress me first. Vocalist sounds like Dave Overkill from Destructor.

After reading this thread and recently acquiring it from Storm Spell. First listen of a band I've never heard before. I can say it's right up my alley, it's kicking arse and steel is reigning supreme etc etc through my shitty speakers. One Track Mind is my favourite track so far. Its real fist pumping poseur destroying stuff. Solid reissue. Cool booklet with lots of photos of guys goofing around and looking metal, scans of flyer's... good value.
