HERE

Alongside their debut, it was requested by many of you MORE‘s second album as well, 1982’s “Blood & Thunder“, remastered & reloaded by Rock Candy Records.
Atlantic Records released More’s second little beast definitely benefiting fully from the major label support, production sound remarkably bigger, and seriously sounding phenomenal, even more with this clear remastering job.
Recorded “virtually live” as stated in the liner notes, “Blood & Thunder” still has traces of NWOBHM punch but augmented by a hard rock groove and catchiness.

We have a new vocalist here with Mick Stratton vocal stylings suggesting a hybrid between W.A.S.P. frontman Blackie Lawless, Dio, and Brian Johnson.
This is, overall, a very straight forward, hard hitting record that really just does not let up. The album’s sound tends to stick to what you imagine the band’s live show would sound exactly like. Even the ways the songs are structured seem to be built around the band’s sound as its all straight forward Rock n Roll blasting away at 11.

Yeah, this album gets it’s backbone from the six string ferocity of Kenny Cox (listen for some awesome shredding soloing in “The Eye”). He’s really got a Classic Rock sound in a lot of parts, especially when he’s just sort of jamming with the bassist – nice to hear them opt to not include a rhythm guitar as it gives the album a more classic 4-piece band feel, except with perfect production.

If you love that classic early ’80s sound of the once reigning British Metal empire then this is more than worth a listen. “Blood & Thunder” is one album you can really “feel” musically due to its dependence on Hard Rock rhythms, and always upbeat tempos (with little exception).
Highly Recommended

    This sounds terrible. It’s like a poor quality vinyl rip from a very scratched and pitted copy, If this is indicative of the actual remastered CD then your comments about a ‘clear remastering job’ are wide of the mark…. the surface noise makes it unlistenable.
