Their second album cover had an awesome bird of prey the suspiciously looked like a Lockheed SR71 spy plane, years before anyone here had seen one. It was supposed that because the Welsh band criss-crossed Europe on tour, they had seen them taking off and landing around US bases.

I don't think we called it heavy metal at the time though the bill fits now. It was just good hard rock along the lines of metal pioneers Dust. The guitar player was phenomenal and the vocals haunting, the drum beat untiring.

Thanx for bringing back a memory of excess, abandon, and hard rock.
