DEMOLITION picture
DEMOLITION were a Birmingham based NWOBHM quartet formed in 1979. Their only recorded output was this, the highly regarded "Hooker Hater" 7", released in 1981. The band split in 1983 without releasing any further material. However, continued interest in the golden age of the NWOBHM prompted German label High Vaultage to approach the band regarding a possible compilation release of their old material. This led to the 2006 compilation album, "Wrecking Crew - The Demolition Anthology", which featured 19 vintage tracks.

One for fans of that classic NWoBHM sound and style.

I'm not a big fan of gruff vocalist John Cadden, and the (Priest) verse riff is horrendously repetitive, but the power and energy is there in truck loads, the band are tight, and you can hear axeman Phil Guy's fingers flying over the fretboard if not with complete ease, at least with competent showmanship.

The flipside, Axeman, is in a very similar vein - what a difference a Halford style screamer would have made to the song. The song, inexplicably lacks a solo. C'mon, guys - it's called Axeman, where's the bloody axeman?

/grin

Average NWoBHM at a vastly above average price - almost $900 for the single, if you can find it - so track down the 2006 CD Wrecking Crew if you're curious as to what that sort of money would buy you.
