From melodic heavy metal pioneers like Helloween (and later Gamma Ray and Iron Savior) to thrash greats like Kreator, and black metal forefathers Celtic Frost.
These guys began as a classic rock cover band called Satan’s Lawyer. That’s kinda funny. They thunder and spiral and cascade and zip and sizzle and all that.
18 tracks, four of them live/rare, and the booklet is a careful cataloging of who was in the band, what album each song is from, and what year it was released.
While there’s a ballad here, most of the rest is fist-bangin’ good times, and there’re even a few double-bass thunders with scorching Yngwie-esque solos.
