Incredible Hog - 1972 - Volume 1 - superb Hard/Heavy Rock!



INCREDIBLE HOG – VOLUME 1 - 1972 (UK) hard rock
70's hard rock.. Heavy Rock!

So i noticed my last few posts had the same theme on the cover!! Fantasy Metal, naked chicks in battle scenes.
Kinda stranged how it all came in the same wave..
anyways, here's a little something to break that chain.
INCREDIBLE HOG!!!!
Totally cool, there's a few superb track that i've been obsessed with.
Reminds me of "Hector" (the junkshop glam band), with a little bit of "Bloodrock", and a little "los dug dugs"
Super rad 70's rock..Check it OUT!!
Fav tracks- Lame, Tadpole, Warning!!

Chastain - 1985 - Mystery of Illusion - Chick Metal



Chastain - 1985 - Mystery of Illusion
Heavy Metal with Female blackie lawless/john bush type vocals
From Cincinnati Ohio

01.) The Black Night
02.) When The Battle's Over
03.) Mystery Of Illusion
04.) I've Seen Tomorrow
05.) Endlessly
06.) Requiem
07.) Fear No Evil
08.) Night Of The Gods
09.) We Shall Overcome
10.) Winds Of Change
11.) March Out

Good debut of Chastain, the band named after the guitarist, David T. Chastain. The band Chastain was at that time an exponent of the upcoming american metal movement.
David Chastain is a guitar madman, riffage Galore.. then in stomps Leather Leone.
Leather Leone is the supreme heavy metal force, a female fronted assault on all senses, driving home the fact that metal isn't a boy-toy, but truly a universal feeling that transcends the gender boundaries, allowing all players to make the team and play in the big game.

Good stuff.. if you're into metal! The cover Rules!
Like i said before her voice kinda reminds me of Blackie Lawless and John bush but as a chick.. it's pretty cool.

Blackwych - Out of Control - Crazy NWOBHM-style Metal!


Blackwych - 1986 - Out of Control

Irish NWOBHM!!
this record rules, the production is kinda muddy but the music, the singing is still tough and rad.
I guess i'd compare it to Jaguar, Mythra, Savage, and Sweet Savage.
Good listening.
And as before, DL links in the comments

Witch Cross - Denmark Style NWOBHM!!



Witch Cross - Fit for Fight
DL - Link in Comments

Nwobhm Style Metal from Denmark! Highly Recommended!

Geek Facts:
Classic European heavy metal band from Denmark. Their only album was recorded by the same engineer of cult HM gems such "Mercyful Fate's Melissa" and "Don't Break The Oath", Henrik Lund at Easy Sound Recordings, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Singer Alex Nyborg Madsen and Mike Wlad later turned up in Danish act Harlot, who released one album in 1989. Alex also became the singer of Led Zeppelin Jam. In 1993, the first album with his new band, Savage Affair, was released. He is also a well-known radio host and hosted a TV show in the late 90's.


This is a rad record - Fit for fight.. the name Witch Cross doesn't sound as cool on it's own but looking at the cover makes it waay cooler. the Singer's voice is like Klaus Meine from Scorpions, mixed with Tokyo Blade, Darks Star and a little King Diamond..just a pinch.

Great music, and guitar riffage!!
Some songs even have Mercyful Fate style riffs and solos!
It's Crazy.. The DUtch are rad!



Witch Cross - Are You There/No Angel - first 7"
