LETHAL INJECTION – The Most Metal Years 1982-1989 (2019)

In a true Steel Panther fashion, “The Most Metal Years 1982-1989” is the just released album from LETHAL INJECTION, a fictional band masterminded by actor / musician Doug Mattingly.
Doug is right now filming a 10 episode season of a rock n’ roll fable, placed, of course, at the infamous ’80s LA Sunset Strip. The original music composed and performed – glammy hard rock songs with a hair metal flair – pay tribute to that era… and all are darn good!

Inspired as well by the Rock Star movie, all the songs on “The Most Metal Years 1982-1989” are professionally recorded and produced, sounding indeed like a ‘lost ’80s’ album.
From the fictional – and fun – fake band members (Rikki Riot, Vinnie Venom, etc) to the Sunset Strip excesses, MTV references, hairspray jokes, and more, this is fun from start to finish.

However, musically this isn’t a joke at all. As said, the songs on “The Most Metal Years 1982-1989” are professionally recorded with the help of experienced session musicians, and seems there’s some guest appearances – uncredited – by famous musicians / bands from the era.

Can’t wait to watch the TV show – seems it will be featured online as well – meanwhile enjoy these really catchy and good collection of hair metal songs bringing back the feel-good memories, from a time when rock n’ roll in the USA was all about having a good time.
