Many up-and-coming American metal bands of the early 1980s wished they were Iron Maiden, but few came as close to achieving the feat as Los Angeles' Omen with their debut album from 1984, Battle Cry. Although it was also obviously fueled by the nascent acceleration of thrash (look no further than raging opener "Death Rider" for that), the album's steel-bound heart was unquestionably pumped by New Wave of British Heavy Metal blood: from the gritty staccato riffs and pounding war-drums, to the predominant fantasy themes and anthemic choruses gracing such enduring standouts as "Dragon's Breath," the title track, and the heartfelt love song (well, not really) "Be My Wench." True, probably none of ...

Like many of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands that inspired them, the appeal of Omen's songwriting seemed to be inversely proportional to the quality of their recordings. That is, as the band matured and produced ever more polished and technically professional LPs, a certain something was mysteriously lost in some bizarre kind of reverse Faustian bargain. Which is a long way of explaining just why their second album, 1985's Warning of Danger, though clearly superior ...
| | Metal Church Dark CD (1987)
Curse / Nightmares
$7.69
Metal Church's excellent debut had impressed critics and fans alike with its ferocious blend of classic metal and thrash. But by the time they released its follow-up, 1986's The Dark, the band seemed to be struggling with their direction and wrestling with internal problems. The fact that they were collectively one of the most unattractive bands ever (even by heavy metal standards) didn't help matters either, especially in image-conscious America, so it was no surprise when the band's appeal remained firmly confined to the metal underground. Which is too bad, since The Dark contained some of the group's best material, including the brutal intensity of "Start the Fire" and "Method to Your Madness," as well as what was probably their best-known song, the astoundingly heavy epic "Watch the Children Play." Extensive touring with Elektra labelmates Metallica had also motivated the band to develop their thrashier inclinations, resulting in vicious moshers like "Ton of Bricks" and "Over My Dead Body." ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

| | Exciter Heavy Metal Maniac CD (1983)
Curse / Nightmares
$10.69
Exciter: Dan Beehler (vocals, drums); John Ricci (guitar); Allan Johnson (bass instrument).
Released in 1983, the debut album from thrash metal pioneers Exciter puts them in league with then-emerging contemporaries Metallica and Slayer. While Exciter may not be on a par with those giants, HEAVY METAL MANIAC packs plenty of punch, mercilessly ripping through a brutal set of songs. Exciter's love of Judas Priest and Motorhead is clear, but the raw energy of the album, deepened by speed, ferocious distortion, and roughshod production values, is original and striking. HEAVY METAL MANIAC is an overlooked jewel in the speed metal catalogue.
After contributing the song "World War III" to Shrapnel Records' U.S. Metal, Vol. 2 compilation, Exciter promptly signed with Shrapnel and recorded their full-length debut, Heavy Metal Maniac, in 1983. Though their debt to Judas Priest was clear for all to see (starting with their ...
