The album was the work of one metal maniac named Gord Kirchin, who became the selfsame \"Pile Driver\" so eloquently depicted on the album's cover art, and a certain \"Bud Slaker\" - AKA Leslie Howe, whose resume did not include any heavy metal before nor after. Nevertheless, together the duo recorded a crude 'n' rude document of blitzkrieg METAL spirit, spit forth across songs that encompassed scuzzy speed metal and pounding traditional metal. The fact that the band was Canadian figured into this style of sound, as one could detect the likes of Anvil AND Exciter here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Piledriver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39643438710855,"sku":"42605379","price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4084459-3152088.jpg?v=1713524499","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/the-piledriver-metal-inquisition-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
