The release date of the POWER UNIT album "Time Chaser" on CD is October 17th 2014. The preorder phase will start on October 3rd 2014 in our webshop.
The Swedish band POWER UNIT was active for about five years but they released only one album. "Time-Chaser" was recorded in 1989 and convinced with melodic Heavy Metal sounding a bit like HEAVY LOAD. Since this band had split up are Power Unit a great alternative for fans who admire Heavy Load. Power Unit had enough good material and Gothenburg was not a bad place for Heavy Metal, because all of Scandinavia was completely taken over by Hard Rock in the 80s.
But the problem was, once again, the spirit of the time. Every Heavy Metal band that tried to be successful in the early 90s had problems to compete with legions of trivial but trendy Alternative and Grunge Rock bands. The musical ice age lasted only for a few years but POWER UNIT was not able to make it in these hard times. "Killer in disguise", "Mystery" and the title track show the potential of the band. But unfortunately they did not have time to develop this potential. The individual tastes of the musicians changed also and so the time for POWER UNIT was over. This is why we now present another small gem in our Heavy Metal Classics series, which contains some top-class songs which will surely please true Heavy Metal fans.
