A Time of Changes

In 1985, when the NWOBHM style gained the greatest popularity, Brian Ross with his band Blitzkrieg recorded one of the best records of the genre. He managed to do it flawlessly, just like in the case of his previous band called Satan. This release keeps the quality like Iron Maiden did on their albums, it's powerful like Motorhead, and it defends the image of metal just like Saxon does!

If only this album was put together back in 1981 as it was to be, this could easily have been the most memorable metal album of all time and the best example of traditional metal. Unfortunately, the band broke up shortly before releasing their debut, and Brian Ross had to wait 3 years to put everything back together. The effect was harsh for the group. They never captured higher popularity.

This album is extremely well-composed and, to my surprise, is recorded with high quality. Songs are melodic and listening to them gives me a lot of fun. There is nothing superfluous in it as each song is written famously with brilliant guitars and drums. I just can't imagine another vocalist for this release because Brian Ross has done great work and gave this release great atmosphere. It is a monumental release. When listening to this record, I feel like moving in the time, especially during "Armageddon", which is the best track here. Musically, this album is very similar to Court in the Act. This should not surprise anyone, for as we know Brian participated in another band, the one I mentioned at the beginning.

Blitzkrieg is another timeless classic, but is a bit underestimated. They should have gotten more of a reputation than they have. Fortunately, Blitzkrieg has passed the test of time, the guys are still making great song, and they are still releasing albums. I hope that they will manage to play metal in the way they have managed to do so far. This album is a great example of heavy metal's undefiled might. Recommended to every metal maniac because, regardless of style and taste, this album is epic and everyone should enjoy it.
