Description

Soldier were part of the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) movement. This genre spawned such great bands as Judas Priest and Saxon along with one of the biggest bands in the world – Iron Maiden
Probably best known for their 1982 single release Sheralee on Heavy Metal Records!

Soldier deliver solid NWOBHM on this 7″ with the up tempo A side Sherilee being the standout track for me with its sold riffing and catchy vocals. The B-side is more mid tempo but still a good solid rocker with some nice guitar soloing running into the fade out. If you are a fan of early 80’s NWOBHM then you really can’t go wrong with this 7″ as this is easily one of  THE top 5 NWOBHM singles ever!

Sheralee by Northamptons SOLDIER has got to be one of greatest ear-worms of the NWOBHM. The chorus, the great voice of singer Gaz and then the unexpected break in the middle of the song, weirdly turning the simple rocker into one serious Maiden-esque scorcher. The flip-side, Force is noticeable too, a mid-tempo song with a clear pop appeal before again, the song goes instrumental and becomes much darker, heavier. That’s a pretty original way of composing songs.
The second tune reminds me a little to much of Ozzy’s response to the 80s hair metal thing, but Sheralee is absolutely incredible. Perfect song from start to finish, Fucking love the chorus. The video is a little dorky, but that’s okay, the music speaks for itself. So, here is the original video recorded to support the Sheralee single released in 1982 on Heavy Metal Records:
