Hittman (80s NYC - Ryche meets Fates)

[poundingmetal74]

Anyone heard of Hittman? I just discovered them, well, now. Great band. Very much in the vein of Awaken the Guardian Fates meets Warning 'Ryche. Great singer, prog, power, thrash, classic metal. Great stuff.

Vow!! Hittman!! What a great band!

Debut album is overwhelming. More or less like you said, old Ryche meets old Fates plus a US metal touch.

"Metal sports", "Breakout" or 007 rendition "Secret agent man" are amazing songs.

"Vivas machina", the second album, is Ok but not as good as "Hittman".

Maybe you don´t know that they´re reunited and scheduled for playing at Keep It True XII in Germany in april 2009.

Don't ever recall here these guys back in the day. Good stuff though!

 

[Orfanos]

Of course we have.

The first album is much better than the second.

I had this, they were on Roadracer Records in the USA....

No idea they had a second record until I looked them up on

Yeah, that first album is really good, I have it on cassette actually - have to pull it out and give it a listen...

Never heard the 2nd, but the first was classic, as far as I'm concerned. Great band!
