FUCKING HELSTAR!

Helstar really do SMASH IT! Such good players, amazing riffs, and a really good singer.

Check this track, off their killer vampire concept album 'Nosferatu':



The sound sucks on that vid, but BOW DOWN TO THE RIFFS!

I've also got the previous album 'A Distant Thunder' which is great too. Need to delve into some of their earlier stuff now.

Oh go on then, one more. The albums intro + opening track (rubbish sound again though, gaaaah - the album production is actually very decent):

Yeahh, I love Helstar.
Definitely get the first album Burning Star! Some ace tracks on that.
I haven't really gotten in to Distant Thunder, probably needs more listening than I gave it.

Just had a listen. Very good. His vocals are grand and the musical theme fits thems perfectly. I like. CD is on ebay for 7pound starting bid (though 6 days to go). I'll bid if I don't forget (the amount of CDs I have lost/money I have saved from being a forgetful twat...)

There's an unseen fortune under their belts
Are golden temples a symbol of God's way
This horde of wealth is a sickening display"
