about this album
Various Artists – The Metal Collection - Volume I Label: Ebony Records – EBON S100 Format: Vinyl, LP, Compilation Country: UK Released: 1986 Genre: Rock, Heavy Metal Side A: 1. BLOOD MONEY - Metalyzed Fast'n'rowdy VENOM/MOTÖRHEAD/JAGUAR-Speed + high, clear vocals a al Steve Grimmet = Ebony's finest signing. 2. HIGH VOLTAGE - End Of Time Rumoured to have been an American act and it sort of shows. Better than average musicianship, quite energy-packed and good fem vox but still pretty bland. BLACKLACE anyone? 3. CHARGER - Rock Yes indeed the Desperadoes 7"-act. Unpolished Priest-fastness. 4. MOTHER'S RUIN - Mother's Ruin Not the aor'ish 7"s+LP act but a heavier and much more bona-fide NWOBHM-sounding bunch. Great vocals and nice galloppy Maiden-guitars you'll wanna hear more of. 5. HELLRAZER - Made Of Metal Type-A NWOBHM rocker that won't leave too deep a footprint in Metal history. Same as 7" version. 6. RANSOM - Nightmare A Heavy Metal Warmachine-crunching, heavy-as-hell little gem right here, the only minor downside being the rather plain uncatchy chorus. att: fans of Leather Nunn and US Enforcer! 7. BAD REPUTATION - How Long Unless we're talking about some serious Geddy Lee-worship here, that's another girl on vocals, fronting americanized but good melodic mainstream Metal like something you'd hear on NRR's Ladykillers comp. Side B: 1. TORQUE SHOW - The Hour Of The Slowest Clock Parts early Mötley/LA-sleeze "metal", parts significantly dirtier UK hard
