Description
This compilation gathers rare bands from the 1980s underground heavy metal scene—acts known only to the true connoisseurs. It is an essential release for collectors, featuring a carefully curated selection of recordings that are otherwise difficult to find today. Its greatest appeal lies in the chance to experience the sounds of lesser-known bands that—while fueled by the energy of NWOBHM and US metal—exhibited their own unique identities. The album includes 18 tracks ranging from cult favorites of the era—such as Jagged Edge, Violation, Savage Thrust, and Killing Machine—to the legendary, near-mythical Lucrecia. With raw yet passionate performances, a vintage sound that captures the spirit of the times, and an atmosphere unique to the analog era, this collection is highly recommended for heavy metal fans and rare-record collectors alike. It is truly a showcase of “hidden gems,” allowing listeners to fully appreciate the appeal of bands that garnered a devoted following despite never achieving commercial success. 1.Voyage Of Darkness / JAGGED EDGE 2.Down On Your Knees / JAGGED EDGE 3.Hand Of The Master / JAGGED EDGE 4.Makin’ Sin / JAGGED EDGE 5.Free Time / VON DYMON 6.Master Slave / VON DYMON 7.Heavy Metal Thunder / CHINA WHITE 8.Death From Above / CHINA WHITE 9.Blondes In Black / ANVIL CHORUS 10.Once Again / ANVIL CHORUS 11.In The Blood / KILLING MACHINE 12.Death Or Glory / KILLING MACHINE 13.Meet Me At Midnight / VIOLATION 14.Balls Out / VIOLATION 15.But Soon Revenge / SAVAGE THRUST 16.Agony And Extacy / SAVAGE THRUST 17.The Hunter / LUCRECIA 18.No One Get Out Alive / LUCRECIA 1~4 : JAGGED EDGE “Jugged Edge” EP 1982 5~6 : VON DYMON “Von Dymon” Single 1986 7~8 : CHINA WHITE “Heavy Metal Thunder” Single 1984 9~10 : ANVIL CHORUS “Blondes In Black” Single 1982 11~12 : KILLING MACHINE “Killing Machine” Single 1992 13~14 : VIOLATION “Meet Me At Midnight” Single 1982 15~16 : SAVAGE THRUST “But Soon Revenge” Single 1987 17~18 : LUCRECIA “The Hunter” Single 1986
