Someone here is bound to like this. Old school traditional metal with tons of great riffage:

yesssss, that EP is one of the coolest obscure transitional records between NWOBHM and speed metal that i've heard, i discovered it a few years back and was surprised by the standard. it's basic in places and the vocals need work but there are also some really vicious and/or epic passages, and some of the solos are seriously gorgeous. it gets really good nearly every time it digresses away from the vox for a bit.
