445 - Helstar Shadows Of Iga 1984

Helstar is 80s heavy metal at it's finest. Wailing vocals, crunchy, weird riff patterns, and great melodic lead guitar lines, with that inevitable attitude that makes the genre so appealing in the first place. James Rivera's voice is full of this iron-strong conviction, the way any good metal vocalist should be. "Shadows Of Iga" keeps a divine hook line and a brave and spirited galloping riff.
