Album:

Battle Cry Records 2012.The great late NWoBHM album from 1986 shows the melodic side of england. In the vein of PRAYING MANTIS, DEF LEPPARD. This cd also includes 2 bonustracks from 1989. Essential for every fan and collector of melodic stuff from the island.It’s a great little album.As you’d expect from a cassette re-master the sound isn’t the best though it’s more than good enough to show what talent Briar had. It’s not straight ahead NWOBHM, it’s more refined than that. Sure, it has the riffs and power-chords and the twin guitarists know how to play with some tight soloing.The title track starts things off and it’ll be in your head straight away. Short, punchy catchy. Things chug along very nicely for the remainder of the album including the two bonus tracks on the CD. The closer (the one before the bonus tracks if you get the CD) Keep on Running is a particular favourite with a great lead in solo over some fine rhythm guitar to back it up.If you like your NWOBHM (or indeed your rock music) to have power, soaring hooks that get right in your head, be a bit melodic but still stuff you can nod your head to, sing along to and play along on the air guitar then get yourself a copy. The CD might be a bit tricky to find however it is available on iTunes for those of you who belong to the Cult of Apple.Take On The World is a real hidden gem from the old days. It’s not unlike period Def Leppard or Praying Mantis I’d say. If you’re a NWOBHM completist or in to your heavy melodic type stuff then it’ll be your bag for sure.
