Although few of the players became successful enough to tell thetale, San Antonio, TX, was home to numerous heavy metal bands inthe 1980s, like progressive metal cult idols Watchtower, the otherSlayer, and, more obscure than both, Juggernaut. Formed in 1985 byvocalist Harlan Glenn, guitarist Eddie Katilius, bassist ScottWomack, and drummer Bobby Jarzombek, Juggernaut shared Watchtower´sflair for supra-technical, prog-inflected speed metal, which theydebuted on their 1986 album, Baptism Under Fire, after completingthe rite of passage that was being included in a Metal Massacrecompilation. Baptism Under Fire has many memorable moments and avery strong nostalgic feel that reeks of the glory days of realmetal. Not a pure speed fest like many of their peers, these guyschurn out a few mid- paced jams that are thoroughly enjoyable frombeginning to end, and of course the speedier tracks (Burn Tonight,Cut Throat, Hang ´em High, to name a couple) are catchy and wellexecuted. The band used shock value stage antics such as a coffinand blood spewing and could be described as a mix of Impaler withthe essential Judas Priest influences along with that sound andfeel certain Metal Blade bands shared at the time. But there´s alot more going on here, for instance, the beginning of Hang ´emHigh briefly resembles the early sounds of Tank along with the mainriff of the song. So if you have a love for classic releases thatnever quite broke any ground or changed the world you need to checkthis out.
