Number five

We are already down to number five in the countdown of my top ten favorite hard rock/metal albums of 1987. Number five is.....


Medieval Kills


Medieval were a trio from Michigan who unfortunately only made one EP and one LP, but both were spectacular. They played a rather raw style that blended speed metal, classic metal and other styles. I think they were a little ahead of their times and they were on New Renaissance records and that label a big part of the demise of several good metal bands. This has never been released on CD so if you see the vinyl just get it because it truly is that good.


Number four is up on Friday. The hint is that this album contains a cover of a Lynyrd Skynyrd song.
