Description

2022 studio album from legendary NWOBHM influencing Quartz. Featuring founder Quartz members Mick Hopkins, Derek Arnold, Malcolm Cope and the late Geoff Nicholls, with vocals from Geoff Bate and Dave Garner. Including the final songs and recordings from Black Sabbath keyboard player Geoff Nicholls and guest vocals from Sabbath’s Tony Martin. Although Quartz are often viewed as mainstays of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, in truth they were more of an influence on the movement, their origins predating the NWOBHM by a number of years. The significance, relevance and importance of this album cannot be simply measured in just terms of music, because it’s so much more than that. The band hope that this will give the listener an insight into the amount of work, under some extreme difficulties and associated emotional feelings involved, in the completion and the eagerly anticipated release of this album that both honours and pays tribute to Geoff Nicholls legacy. If you have any interested in heavy metalt hen you need to check this out as its a brilliantly sung and expertly played with some great guitar solos. It also conjures the spirit of the NWOBHM without sounding dated. Highly recommended
