VA - 'No Substitute For Steel' Compilation
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2009 2:11 pm
Here is a great San Diego compilation from 1985. I had this one up on one of my gmail accounts but thought I'd start a separate thread as I'm sure lots of people didn't bother checking out the accounts.
Almost all the tracks are strong, the weakest being the ones by Ragged Lace, Bible Black, Snakebyte and American Steel I think. My favourite is 'Search For Signs' by Raven Mad, the vocals and music have this epic quality, I love some of the small touches like the arpeggio that appears in the background in the choruses after the first solo... magical stuff, and it'd be amazing if there were more material out there from this band.
