Some people would call it scrapping the barrel, but this particular barrel has a lot of good stuff stuck on the bottom.

"Turn the Hell On" has got to be the greatest name for an album EVER. If I ever record an album, I'm gonna rip them off and name it "Turn the Hell Up" and not give them any credit.

Now Urban has already beaten me to this one.

Vardis were an outfit from Wakefield, Yorkshire and seemed to have the credentials to put out some great biker style NWOBHM metal Saxon style. The Saxon contrast was also with their with frontman Steve Zodiac, who sounded at times somewhat similiar to the legendary Saxon frontman Bill Byford. As for the album, well the group kicked off with a LIVE debut album, evoking memories of the classic MC5 debut Kick Out the Jams a decade earlier. Song wise, the band were probably not the most talented and I'd say they were at their best when the lead vocalist did less singing, because it was the guitars in this band that stole the show. Vardis were a band that used the metal energy that was flowing around the UK at that time, rather than being super talented. The band put out several studio albums upto the mid 1980s but this is their best remembered release.

Despite their occultish name and gory album cover, the Demon debut had more in common with the more melodic heavy acts of the 1970s such as UFO and the melodic guitar riffs of Thin Lizzy, than they did with the style of Black Sabbath. The band hailed from Staffordshire, its seems like a huge percentage of NWOBHM acts originated from either the West Midlands or North East regions of the UK! The band's lack of eventual success, could be pointed down to the fact, that they were probably about several years too late sound-wise as their style of sound was more indebted to 70's hard rock acts than to the then emerging fellow acts of the NWOBHM.

Every now and again I remember its here and because I'm listening to a lot of 70s and 80s metal at the moment. When I see something from the NWOBHM and I think its good I put it up here.

Its an interesting album, disjointed at times as the band can't always decide which way they quite want to go but the songs are there.
