HEAVY METAL OBSCURITIES - The Vinyl Years: EURO METAL

Il secondo capitolo della collana "Heavy Metal Obscurities - The Vinyl Years" riguarda il Metal Europeo, per la precisione FWOSHM / NWOSHM ed è composto da un volume/CD unico.
In Svezia come in Inghilterra, avvenne una rivoluzione nella musica metal proprio tra la fine degli anni '70 e la metà degli anni '80s. In quel lasso di tempo ci fù una grande prolificazione di gruppi nel circuito metal underground, per molti di questi gruppi, prima di scomparire nel nulla c'è stata l' occasione di rilasciare uno/due singoli 7". Dischi allora sottovalutati e sconosciuti, ma che oggi rivivono la loro meritata e un tempo negata gloria. Vengono ri-scoperte vere e proprie gemme musicali, come lo sono tutti gli album contenuti in questo CD.
I gruppi dalla Svezia sono: CRYSTAL PRIDE, GRAVE, HIGHBROW, SILVER MOUNTAIN e ZONE ZERO.
Dalla Danimarca sono: KIM SIXX, RANDY e WITCH CROSS.
