Ebony Records sublabel. Nothing "sub" about them otherwise (3 Swedish signings - yay!). This should be all of them.

CDP3 | Sadwings | Lonely Hero | LP | 1985 | My fave release of the label and the opener "Love In Third Degree"stand out as one of the finest and most underrated 'Scanda-Metal'-tunes recorded. Needs to be on more want-lists, even if It sort of levels out towards the end. |

CDP 4 | Blackmayne | Blackmayne | LP | 1985 | Not an unbeatable classic or anything, but a completely straight-down-the-middle NWOBHM archetype and a likeable one at that. In true Ebony-form all songs do tend to blend together a bit though. They should've taken the 200-ltd-copies, private-pressing route instead - would've made made them more Kült and less Forgotten.

CDP 5 | Saigon | One Must Die | LP | 1985 | Less original than that 'pigriffin' with dragon-tentacles to the right, but it's quality Steel for sure. Not until the last handful of songs do you get to the really good stuff though and this took a couple of return-spins for me to fully appreciate. Review |
