WITCH
CROSS
'Fit
For Fight'
(Hells
Headbangers)
'Fit
For Fucking Fight' huh?! This is a blast from the past for me. I
have been listening to this album for many a moon, for those that do
not know about this fantastic metal album, it was originally released
back in 1984 on Roadrunner Records. This album is so highly regarded
that I believe Hells Headbangers is no less than the fourth record label to
release this fucking thing! As you might guess this is classic mid
80s heavy metal, Witch Cross are from Denmark and you can
imagine them fitting in that scene right next to Mercyful Fate
and Maltese Falcon - can you imagine a gig with all three of
those bands? My head would explode! The music on here is marvellous
and just chugs along with speedy ripping music that commands you like
an evil old witches spell to headbang and play air guitar. I mean
seriously listen to the songs "Fight The Fire" & "Light
Of A Torch" and tell me you were able resist rocking out those
amazing tunes. Just some fantastic guitar work on here with some
smoking solos. The vocals may be an acquired taste for some, they are
very early to mid 80s dated vocals, quite high pitched with not a lot
of range, some might even mistake them for chick vocals, but they are
great and work with the killer music. Seriously if you have not heard
this by now you better get it or you do not even like classic heavy
metal and why are you still reading this review? This is a must own
for 80s metal fans, get your grip on this intense fire ball of metal
now.
