here is my review of this classic English legend, one of my favourite albums ;) first song is motorcycle man, a fast paced song with a cool intro, once you hear the guitars come in, you know this ain't no pussy album, Biff Byford is a great vocalist, and he shows his range well in this song, from shouting to shrieking, this track is an awesome starter :D Next is stand up and be counted, a short but fun little song with choruses you can sing along with, withought the lyrics sounding like a soppy hair metal song, very enjoyable song, but nowhere near the best on the album ;) And now an absolute CLASSIC. 747 strangers in the night, Great lyrics vocals and guitars, basically everything about this song rocks, bloody epic track, although it may not be my favourite but, it is definetly the best karaokeyey song, i love singing it! next the wheels of steel come rolling in, classic NWOBHM song, just great, awesome lyrics "burnin, solid rubber! dont take no bullshit!" loving it. Fantastic song and great Title Track. Now we have the shortest Track on the album, but that riff! i love it! i love love love this song "I wannit so bad! im freeway mad!" awesome rockin' song shortest but one of the album's best see the light shining is The track that follows, it is a brilliant display of biffs vocals, he rules! "I can see the light shining!" you cant help but shout with him! He is one of my fav vocalists another solid song, street fighting man, with some cool whistling too, good riff, very enjoyable. now is suzie hold on, now there isnt a weak track on this album, but this is my least favourite, still a nice song though, nice little love song XD AND NOW THE BEST SONG ON THE WHOLE MOTHERTRUCKIN ALBUM!!!!! ITS MACHINE GUN!!!! I bloody adore this song my favourite on the album, so heavy, and the obliterating guitar midway through sounds amazing, what a way to end an amazing album :D

Re: Saxon - Wheels Of Steel

I've got strangers in the night and wheels of steel off a compliation. Love the first but am indifferent to the second. Nicely put together review btw :cool: !
Their first four albums are absolutely incredible and are amongst the best NWOBHM discs. They sort of faltered a little after that' date=' but picked it back up in the mid-90s. Definitely one of the most consistent metal bands of all time.[/quote'] thank you very much guys! ;D

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
