Brace yourself for a blast of unapologetic early '80s heavy metal with The Rods, the fierce, no-frills debut from the New York power trio that helped bridge American grit with the NWOBHM explosion overseas. Now reissued on stunning electric blue vinyl, this is a slice of pure, high-voltage history.
Originally released in 1981, this album took the raw heart of their limited edition Rock Hard LP and cranked the intensity up to eleven. Tracks like “Crank It Up,” “Power Lover,” and “Devil’s Child” deliver thunderous riffs, pounding drums, and the kind of scream-along choruses that practically demand a denim vest and air guitar. It’s the sound of a band hungry and unrelenting – and listeners across the pond took notice.
The Rods weren’t just making noise – they were making waves. Their explosive energy landed them the coveted support slot on Iron Maiden’s 1982 UK ‘Beast On The Road’ tour, cementing their place in the metal pantheon. And that glowing five-star review in Sounds magazine? Totally deserved.
This limited electric blue vinyl pressing doesn’t just sound great – it looks like it’s been forged in the heart of a lightning storm. Essential listening for fans of true-school heavy metal with muscle, melody, and mayhem.
