UNITED KINGDOM - IMPORT, BOXED SET

Five CD set. The rise of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal - NWOBHM - in the late 1970s and early 1980s gave us many enduring heavy rock and metal bands. Formed in 1980 by singer Brian Ross, the band split all too soon, calling it a day in 1981 after releasing just one single. Ross reformed Blitzkrieg in 1984 with Mick Procter on lead guitar, Jim Sirotto on rhythm guitar, Mick Moore on bass and Sean Taylor on drums, releasing A Time Of Changes (CD1) for Neat at the beginning of 85. CD2 delves into the archives with the Blitzed Alive demo cassette, featuring many tracks that would eventually appear on their debut, plus a raucous cover of Deep Purple's 'Highway Star'. It would be ten years before another album was released; Unholy Trinity (1995) was unashamedly (NWOB) heavy metal and includes a cover of Venom's 'Countess Bathory', featuring a guest appearance from Venom's Cronos. On a roll, Unholy Trinity was followed by Ten (CD4) the following year recorded and released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the very first Blitzkrieg single. This first volume of complete recordings from Blitzkrieg ends with their fourth album, The Mists Of Avalon (CD5) from 1998, an album that finds them progressing beyond their core NWOBHM sound. One major diversion is the ballad 'Princess For The World', dedicated to the recently passed Princess Diana, but otherwise we're back to the band's power metal best.
