618 - Kruiz Knight of the road 1986

One of the most legendary bands of the Russian scene are Kruiz, being one of the few Soviet bands to actually have made it into the west before the communist empire had crumbled and finally fallen. Actually their 1986 debut "Kruiz 1" managed to raise the interest of Western major label WEA to sign Kruiz. Even though the band broke apart many years back, Kuiz still are regarded as one of the best known bands of the former Soviet Union. "Knight of the road" opened the album, power/speed metal with a vicious edge.
