SLOUGH FEG - Digital Resistance - EU Metal Blade Limited Press + POSTER - LISTEN - LAST COPY

LP NOW OUT OF PRINT! A black vinyl released in mid-February 2014 in an edition of 300 copies, by a traditional metal band from California! The record was released in a gatefold sleeve with a sticker (+ a poster, folding out to four large panels, with an enlarged cover) by Metal Blade Records - in existence since 1982 and probably the most important record label in the history of metal! What is there to write - the album is superb - like every one recorded by Mike and company. Perhaps not the best of their career, but certainly not inferior to any of the (excellent) titles recorded after the CD "Atavism"! Most bands, after coming to Metal Blade, would probably have recorded something that the label or the metal audience would expect. The quartet, however, made no compromise; they did not change studio or producer or make the sound more metal (quite the contrary - they seemed to smooth it out even more) - they simply presented again classically delivered, quite melodic hard rock with an old sound and two lead guitars (and an acoustic one jangling at times in the background) - something like a slightly heavier Thin Lizzy combined with old Judas Priest and very early Iron Maiden - but rather without speeding up. A MUST! (JL)
