Guilty as Charged! Tears of Repentance ! (entirely misspelled on the label of the LP, by the way :p) I was a tape trader back then, still am to a much smaller extent, and read about them in the Aardschok magazine. Players on Varney's USMetal II wasn't fast enough for me, but I got everything Shrapnel put out at the time anyway, and the album really turned out to kick major behind. You had to listen beyond the production of course, but that gets pretty easy after trading demo's for a while, in those days :) Fine instrumentalists and singer. Too bad the guys never got a decent manager to handle the business side of things...

How about Hair Appointment - eh, Heir Apparent, by the way? Awesome debut, and if it hadn't been for the changes that did Terry Gorle in, they might've given Queensryche a run for their money...

Ha!...yeah, I got that LP from Bud the drummer. I think only a few hundred were pressed. I also recorded them in '80 or '81 at the mountainer's club in SEA...they used to cover Ozzy songs then. Fun ass band to watch live and set the bar in 80's Seattle metal. damn, I'm old....
 
Metal Church, Reverand, TKO, Jimi Hendrix, Candelbox, Hells Belles.

I loved Fifth Angel

Yep!! They were fantastic!! Great album badly produced though. :erk:

They were good, esp. Guilty As charged, but damn near every band in the US had a band named Culprit. :lol:
 
Alice In Chains, NM, Queensryche

Those 3 bands alone prove Seattle's done well.
