DJL68 One of the cool things about being a longtime metalhead is that no matter how much you believe you've heard, somebody always has a nice, aged obscurity you missed to throw your way. Here's one of mine, and I actually forgot all about it until Pure Steel resurrected it (with bonus tracks to boot). Hearing it now, after nearly three decades, it's definitely a worthy listen, and purchase. A little old-school AC/DC, Priest, and Accept squeezed together, with it's own unique twist. Favorite track: Running Hot, Running Wild.

No Warning 06:49
Come on to me will a whisper Life's last breath is a sigh And somewhere the wolves are howling They’re scowling like metal on ice No warning — no warning There's an angel poised in silence Holds a star al my back. While the Autumn moon is rising The shadows wait to Mack No warning — no warning Turn or a tide of shat water lay you down la rest Then spit in your eye To draw out the flame The bums Like a knife in my chest No warning — no warning And somewhere the wolves are howling Lilfe’s last breath is a sigh When the Hunter becomes the Hunted They're scowling like metal on ice No warning — no warning

Would your feat grew cold At the point or a knife Rat-catcher's eyes Shine like northern lights He'll thrust Cut you for Sensation Do you believe in Resurrection And if you feel cold steal Against your spine Would the finger on the trigger Snap your mind Rat catcher's eyes Shine like northern lights When you're breathing Your last breath of life I see your silhouette Upon the gallows pole Wall bought the hand That the dealer sold Every man must pay the price When Rat-catcher's eyes Shine like northern lights Rat catcher's eyes

I’m gonna light your body with fire Charge you up with electricity Send a shiver up and down your spine I enslave you then set you free Take the chain from around my neck Throw away the key My world is screaming out For you — for you! Hellhouse. Hellhouse 666 Dead End Street Hellhouse, hellhouse, Where the centre of the Earth And the surface meet Folks tell of sulphurous smells Of death and decay If you end up with the walking dead Then you're there to stay No one returns to hell Oh what's inside It might be paradise it might be fire Hellhouse. Hellhouse 666 Dead End Street Hellhouse, hellhouse, Where the centre of the Earth And the surface meet If you're game enough to take the risk Not afraid to taste the devil's kiss Understand you're a better man than I Go and look Satan square in the eye Hellhouse. Hellhouse 666 Dead End Street

We live for metal, metal lives for me Taking us places where we want to be Heavy metal black leather come with us We'll sweat together you're the one we trust And you ask me if there's time to Rock Before you know it we’ll strike it hot So taste our power and lose control Heavy metal fury - Rock and Roll Hell has no fury like Rock and Roll We are the jury to save your soul When your body’s hungry and you feel the need There’s only one way to set you mind at ease We've got the food to satisfy your wish A rocket fuel banquet and a can of piss You can't nail us down when we’re running hot So let's play to win and leave the fools to lose Were dressed in leather so fuck the rules Hell has no fury like Rock and Roll We are the jury to save your soul You can't nail us down when we’re running hot When you're feeling good you know it’s hard to stop So taste our power and lose control Heavy metal madness - Rock and Roll Metal black leather come with us Metal black leather come with us Metal black leather come with us An army of leather and army of studs Who dare challenge, who'll dare judge Hell has no fury like Rock and Roll We are the jury to save your soul

On wings of leather I take you To a world beyond the skies Where fantasy becomes reality Live and death Wear no disguise Wings of leather, wings of steel Screaming through the Universe Blinding past the stars Our destiny becomes clearer now So near and jet so far Wings of leather, wings of steel On wings of steel I’ll show you Ghosts of the living past Our destiny becomes reality So small and yet so vast Wings of leather, wings of steel

On the streets of London town There's an echo from the underground Something chills the air And the cold will Iast while the anarchy is there High On higher in Avalon In the hall of the ancient kings The wizard in despair Wakes the sleeping king For England's care From a town in the dead of night The heavens sent a blinding light Merlin Stands grail In hand Calls forth his fellow man Oh, bring your hearts to me now Bring your love to me now It’s the Aquarian age on the 1st of May This could be the judgment day It’s you to blame But I’m the one to fight the flames of fire When they start to burn higher They'll scorch and burn and turn and terrify ya Oh, bring your hearts to me now You know the story Those flames of purgatory Higher, when they start to burn higher They'll taunt and burn and turn to terrify ya Then the world will begin again then The new day will dawn in Avalon Oh, bring your hearts to me now You know the story Those flames of purgatory Higher, when they start to burn higher They'll taunt and burn and turn to terrify ya Then the world will begin again then The new day will dawn in Avalon The new day will dawn in Avalon

Psycho 03:39
Reach out into the void Looking for a grip to hold Search barren wastelands For tales that have never been told Stare out into the black Gaze clearly through the mist Watch your shadow, between the cracks The mirror yearns for your kiss Cry in the darkness of light Plead with your tortured brain Play with fire to melt the ice Ride 'neath the cover of rain Scream out into the night How much does it ease the pain? Plagued by torment and mental fights Two worlds drive your mind insane Psycho scream out, your soul Psycho scream out, your soul Psycho scream out, your soul Psycho scream out, your soul Built castles in the sky Analysts collect the rent Probing my inner eye to straighten The wire that’s bent Psycho scream out, your soul Psycho scream out, your soul Psycho scream out, your soul Psycho scream out, your soul

The pool hall's lit Cigarette smoke drifts about the hustler As he takes his cue and stools his pool He doesn't miss a trick Would you throw away a chance If it means a buck You're living from day to day On a stroke of luck So, Roll the Dice Roll the Dice Roll the Dice of Life The Penthouse Pet Knows what she'll get When she's dress to kill At the singles bar She don’t look far She throws a double six And as you look into her eyes She'll shoot you dawn in flames She's known as the hustler But two can play that game So, Roll the Dice Roll the Dice Roll the Dice of Life

You came from the edge of nowhere To seek the blood of your foes Sent by the Lords of everlasting night Slay evil before it grows You carry the Slade of Immortals Bathe in the Serpent Fire You toast from the cup of the unvanquished Your thunder will shatter the quiet Blade of slaughter The blade will know who wears tile mark Cold steel will cut the air Thunder and fire and victory That moment you will share For the Lords have passed their judgement And at the mercy of the black You come from the edge of nowhere Attack! Attack! Attack! Blade of slaughter You mow them down without compassion You breathe revenge and thirst extermination For evil must die – before it grows Carry the mark - the blade it will know Blade of slaughter

Power Crazy 03:49
Demon car Lonely streets Takes his victims Piece by piece The game he plays Will take your breath He’ll run you down Battle to the death Motor mad and power crazy Killer machine Satan's Six You’re face the highway Battle of the wits The game he plays Will make you sweat He'll wipe you out Thrill you to death Motor mad and power crazy Super charged Programmed to kill He'll cut you down Battle to the death Super charged Programmed to kill He'll cut you down To get his thrill Victims bleed In twisted wrecks He'll cut you down Battle to the death Motor mad and power crazy
