Warthur
With new vocalist Jon Deverill onboard, the second Tygers of Pan Tang album finds them performing an exciting and accessible style that fits in well with their NWOBHM contemporaries. Imagine what Iron Maiden would have sounded like if after Paul Di'Anno left they got a new vocalist who was a bit less operatic than Bruce Dickinson and, whilst still toning down the rougher punk influences on their playing, they didn't go for the more theatrical, progressive-influenced compositional style that would characterise them from Number of the Beast Onwards. That's Spellbound for you - a somewhat more pop-friendly style of NWOBHM which makes up for what it lacks in complexity with a certain dose of aggression, but not so much as to scare anyone off. Entertaining, but not enough to push them into the top tier of the era.
