FORTRESS - 'Fortress' USA 1985

Post by daniel »

Az requezted by Avenger (maybe I'm in a Sacred Blade mood).

Average album, with a strange yet semi-charming cover(what's going on?). I like the first 3 tracks of the A-side a lot, after that it gets way too 'rocking' and party bullshit like. It does pick up with the track 'Reach' on the B-side, which is cool. Got it cheap anyway ;) Enjoy or destroy.

I had a listen before, well I liked the first track...

The cover art is awesome. It's pretty simple to work out... the rocker, he must of fucked every one of those half naked Amazon women. After they found out and fought amongst themselves for a bit they regrouped and went to go vent their rage upon him. They found him rocking out in a pit of fire that was created by his awesome riffing. Naturally death has just dropped by because someone is going to die, the casual eye might think he's about to take the rocker away but I reckon he's out to take the Amazon's because the rocker is about to school them to death with the power of metal.

Awesome. Had to start a thread on this subject.

Belongs to the "cool cover, bad music" category for me.

Thanks for uploading this one man. I thought that I was forgotten about. :)

Now I can replace my shit quality rookie rip that I did myself way back in the day when I used to collect these crazy black disc things that came in sleeves.

This band has always sounded like a beefed up, heavier version of Ratt to me. The vocalists lower register is a deadringer for Stephen Pearcy. Now, this might turn some people away, but I dig this album and considering how it's not availible and probably never will be on CD, this is the only way that I'm able to listen to it.

Cheers.

The 1st song's intro is similar to Messiah Prophet's Master of the metal don't you think?! Cool though
