BLACKHORSE : Blackhorse
THE MYSTICK KREWE OF CLEARLIGHT : The Mystick Krewe Of Clearlight
DRUNK HORSE : Drunk Horse
The Blackhorse is great raging southern hard rock, love it.
Never heard the rest, how do they sound ?
HOOKERS is kinda MOTORHEAD by way of MANOWAR with a Punky sneer.
TMKOC is mainly instrumental, fusing Metal/Hard Rock/Southern Rock & Blues. It's just a great record full of amazing riffs, that rewards your perseverance.
DRUNK HORSE are another aquired taste, take 70's TED NUGENT/ZZ TOP style Hard boogie, and add crazy ZAPPA-esque time changes for many unexpected twists and turns.
Yes, HYKSOS is derivative, no denying it, them boys loved PRIEST, but there's something about the album that drags me back time and again. Just the way it flows and the conviction in their playing moves me.
CRYSYS sorta sound like early RIOT with, as pointed out, a singer from the BUDGIE school of vocalising.
CHASAR mixed NWoBHM with some more progressive/technical moves, a-la RUSH. They were from my neck of the woods and i saw them live waaaay back in the day, which left a strong lasting impression on me.
SORCERY played Doomy Trad 70's Metal/Heavy Rock, but their 2nd album moves on, adding more of an '80's style to the Doomy roots.
Hope this helps.
Oh & i totally second Nightsblood recommendation of the TAIPAN EP too, it deserves a far wider appreciation for sure. |
