About This Item

We all know how great 1984 was, with so many great bands releasing CLASSIC albums during that time. It was at the height of the glam/sleaze craze that Vyper, a Missouri act, left to join the troops led by Ratt, Motley Crue, Quiet Riot... This little-known band released a real gem during that same year, and not to be confused with pre-Angra band Viper from Brazil. Vyper was produced by Eric Greif, alias Griffy, who would later become very active on the thrash/death scene and was also known for his close collaboration with Motley Crue manager Allan Coffman (Leathür Records). InchPrepared to strikeInch was released in 1984 by Greenworld Records in the USA, and as the tag worked with Dutch outfit Roadrunner, the album found a good number of buyers in Europe. The band consisted of Michael Scott (drums), Robbie Saint (guitars), Jacky Foxx (guitars), Christy Black (vocals), and Rik Brock (bass). For the InchPrepared To StrikeInch album the band members are completely decked out in the normal early '80s attire... spandex, leather pants, aqua-net hair, and of course ribbons and ties on their arms, wrists, heads, and cut off jackets. Unfortunately, this American act managed to one E.P (Afraid of The Dark) and one LP (Prepared to Strike) before disappearing from the scene. Kansas City, Missouri band Vyper, suffered from the familiar situation of their record tag going tits-up and later in the band's life there was two versions of Vyper touring, ala LA Guns, Ratt and so many other hard rock bands in recent years. Looking at the original year of it's , you know what you'll expect. Roaring guitars, some high pitch screaming, thick harmonies, wild solos, and stuff like that. In terms of sound, this one bounces between AOR-edged hard rock and NWOBHM-influenced melodic metal. You can hear a Judas Priest influence on the song Dealer, and for the most part the guitar sound is heavier

    Deftones - Around the Fur   - VINYL LP
    4.6(12)

    Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
