30072014 - Oz "III Warning"

What can I say? Pure unashamed wonderful Finnish heavy metal from 1984 that might possibly sound even better today when seen in perspective than it did 30 years ago! This is pure joy and all eight songs are anthems! If you say this sounds dated you might as well say you denounce metal. You get songs like "Runner", "Crucified" and "Too Bad to Be True" and, not least, the Anvil-ish finishing track, "Total Metal", whose title says it all. This is the kind go record that loads of bands still try to do today, but none will ever manage to.
