Description

Take those who say they love “80’s Thrash” with a grain of salt, because unless they are talking about the multitude of Speed that fell into the cracks of obscurity, you won’t hear many names outside of the Big 4. It is an era during which underground Heavy Metal flourished and fell; USA’s Powerlord is one such band, a product of the inner workings of the early stages of the country’s burgeoning Power Metal scene. Far more prominent Thrash tendencies if anything, this band went on to create just one full-length, which has recently been reissued for a re-mastering. For anyone interested to hear this thrash metal album from 1986 i can only say that its a wickedly good release, and proof that there are several gems of US metal beyond the musical scope of the Big 4.
