Striker - City of Gold

[Fire breath]

You like classic metal? You've clicked on the right thread! Great vocals and super guitar licks and riffs abound.

 

[SF Metal Man]

That freakin rocked! They're on tour with Onslaught this fall.

This band is kicking my butt! This album will finish in my top 5 of the year without question. Fans of Wolf take notice!

This disc kicks ass! Btw- they dropped off the tour with Onslaught.

 

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

I have a ticket but will probably skip it now.

I saw that...wonder what happened?

[MYSTIC1]

Not sure- they are still doing other tours.....

 

[Diabolik]

that Onslaught tour is cursed. been pushed back three times now and then when it finally happens Striker drop out and now the singer for Onslaught isn't singing for them on this tour they are getting Neil Turban from Anthrax.

 

[edgeofthorns]

Saw this in Glenn's Top 10,000 post. Gotta admit, they had gotten under my radar somehow. Picked up this disc and I totally dig it. Has the NWOBHM vibe all OVER it...albeit with better production all the way round.

 

[General Zod]

For whatever reason I missed it in Glenn's Top 50, but caught it in another end of year list. Enjoying it, need to spend some more time with it.

It's good stuff. From the opening cut, it reminded me of 1981. I was living in Virginia Beach at the time. And Barry at Birdland Music always made an effort to stock the latest and greatest in metal...major label and independent. That was the height of the NWOBHM and it seemed like a day didn't go by that some new band from the UK or Europe was releasing a new album. And I bought most of 'em. I still remember picking up 'Denim And Leather' there and having my butt royally kicked by the mighty Saxon. Memories.

 

[General Zod]

Agreed. It's a decidedly old school mixture of NWOBHM and thrash, with a splash of hair metal thrown in.
