An early speed/heavy metal act from Wigan, England that wasfounded in 1982. The same year they managed to get their track‘Premonition’ on the Ebony Records compilation album ‘MetalManiaxe’. However the band never got signed to Ebony or Neatrecords as the labels thought their music wasn’t suitable for theBritish market. Instead the Roadrunner label in Holland signed themand released their only full length album ‘Chasing The Storm’ onthe 12th of June 1985. At the time, the British Metal press hadgrown tired of NWOBHM, and had virtually killed off any chance forthe budding Power/Speed Metal scene to ever take off in the UK.Many once powerful NWOBHM bands had since been lured by theprospect of making it big in the States, and had altered theirmusical style to suit. Notable culprits include Jaguar, Raven andBlind Fury (a.k.a. Satan). Trojan and their ilk were unfairlyignored in the UK, but at least the European press was moreaccommodating. Both Satan and Jaguar had gone down a storm overthere, their debuts hitting the stores in 1983. However by 1985,Thrash Metal had become more dominant and Speed Metal bands such asExciter had lost some of their initial impact. ‘Chasing The Storm’is an album very much in the early Exciter mould, also drawingcomparisons with Jaguar’s ‘Power Games’ and Satan’s ‘Court In TheAct’. The absence of a second guitarist was more evident than itwould have been a few years previously, although guitarist andfounding member Pete Wadeson it must be said, was a master of hiscraft. The vocals were handled by Dave Kenyon, who, while certainlya talented frontman, tended to be a bit one dimensional in terms ofmelodic diversity. Check out the title track and ‘Icehouse’ tracktwo tracks with strong verse and chorus with decent riffsaccompanying. Among the finest example of British Speed Metal and aproof that the Germans weren’t the only ones producing this kind ofmusic at the time.
