Blast from the Past

God, how I miss the mid-late 80's metal scene. I just stumbled over a few videos on YouTube. Check these out...

there was more, but the embedding was disabled for some stupid reason. *sigh*

I also had Sanctuary 'Future Tense' and Leatherwolf 'The Calling'. but you can search them. Pretty cool stuff.

Great choices! I'm not familiar with Warrior though, so I must explore.

WARRIOR was a blind purchase by me around 1985 based on their song titles alone. And I was not disappointed. Strong, melodic, power metal album with Sci-Fi/War themes throughout. Although in 1998 I picked up a long-awaited follow-up album - Alien Future - and was extremely disappointed. The songs were dry and listless, lacking the obvious energy they had back in the late 80's when I discovered them.

it's funny too, because the only songs they have listed on their MySpace happen to be from their debut album. They've had two more albums released in recent years but they kind of fell off my radar after the disappointing follow-up.

Interesting note is that both Marc Storace and Rob Rock have recorded/performed vocals with them in recent years (but neither are in the current lineup). Roy Z played with them somewhere along the way too. A couple of Rob Rock's band mates appear to be in the current WARRIOR lineup.

The Warrior disc "The Wars Of Gods And Men" features Marc Storace on vox, and its pretty good IMO. Its sounds like the bastard child of Krokus, Black Label Society, and maybe Trouble?. I like it.

I'll look into em'.

I've been a long time fan of Metal Church though. I've pretty much enjoyed every release of theirs. Oddly enough, I think Ronnie Munroe is my favorite singer of theirs.
