have you ever wondered what Mercyful Fate would sound like if they were actually 4 black dudes from Cleveland?
They'd sound like BLACK DEATH and they would have made the greatest, lost forgotten gem of 80s metal, their one album that no one cared about and they split up soon after
first the cover
you gonna tell me you dont wanna hear what these guys sound like? FUCK BRO!
this is not some new hip indie band doing an ironic metal album cover, these guys were the real deal and the music sounds exactly like the product of these badasses here.
ok so if youre not into vintage early 80s metal youre probably not gonna be into this(its a very raw production job too), listen to the glorious intro to the first track here, just the first 25 seconds, if that doesnt make you wanna hear more then turn it off, this aint the album for you
this is my top track, when it kicks in you get the most psychotic falsetto vocals over MASSIVE riffs
wanna slow it down? these guys can do a soul ballad that would make Rick James weep into his coke
their best known and heaviest track
theres only 3 other songs on the album and theyre all great too, all killer, no filler. Highest possible recommendation
(777 im looking in your direction on this one)

^^tell him if he still owns that LP it goes for a pretty penny nowadays, its really hard to come by, think there was supposed to be a reissue a few years ago that didnt happen.
I got it from a blog and could believe how great it is and why it doesnt have a bigger rep, would likely pay over the odds for a vinyl copy.

He might still own it. I know there still around with diffrent lineup. I think they only pressed like 2,000 or something. Haven't heard from him in awhile.
Here's a couple more You might want to give a shot.
First one up is
Vince Neil - Exposed - 1993
Track listing
"Look in Her Eyes" (Neil, Stevens, Soussan) (5:51)
"Sister of Pain" (Neil, Blades, Shaw) (5:02)
"Can't Have Your Cake" (Neil, Stevens) (3:56)
"Fine, Fine Wine" (Neil, Soussan) (4:12)
"The Edge" (4:53) (Neil, Stevens, Soussan)
"Can't Change Me" (Blades, Shaw) (4:39)
"Set Me Free" (Andrew Scott) (Sweet cover) (4:03)
"Living Is a Luxury" (Neil, Stevens) (5:39)
"You're Invited (But Your Friend Can't Come)" (Neil, Blades, Shaw) (4:22)
"Gettin' Hard" (Neil, Stevens, Soussan) (4:37)
"Forever" (Neil, Stevens, Soussan) (5:11)
Now this was Vince Neil's first solo release prior to leaving Motley Crue. Didn't really give this album a chance til 2000. My cousin said it was a stellar release. Features some great Guitar work by Steve Stevens. I've found myself listening to it more all the time. If your a fan of Motley Crue's Dr Feelgood. You might enjoy this release.

Great album by The Band. This was there second release. I discovered The Band in the late 80's. Had heard there songs on Classic Rock radio. But you've never heard a full album by them. This may be a good starting point.
As you can see. My music goes across the board of all styles. Hopefully someone will discover some music they hadn't gave a chance before
