Description

CUTTY SHARK: Die Tonight [Metal in Mausoleum. 1984. This LP from CUTTY SARK is superb! What makes the record so memorable is the fine guitar playing of Uwe Cossmann, a man to watch out for as he plays with such maturity. Added to this, the Bruce Dickinson like vocals of Conny Schmitt and a more than just capable rhythm section and given that they have a very full production I can see this record going down a storm. If you like VIRGIN STEELE, THRUST, SAVAGE, SORTILEGE and old MAIDEN and SAXON you are going to love this

Rare German 80 heavy/power metal in the vein of the old school true metal acts such as Omen, Ostrogoth, Accept and Steel Vengeance. Basically a band that did their thing, released a few albums and faded. Underground bands like Cutty Sark deserve more credit, the sound here is basically a raw type of Grave Digger, although a clear influence on speed metal is present.
The sound is pretty persistent throughout the whole album, the vocals are pretty standard of the 80 heavy/power scene, semi-high pitched and work well on some of the more epic Manowarish song structures such as on ‘Vultures In The Air’ and ‘Burning to Ashes’. While other songs are more standard classic metal Iron Maiden or Judas Priest orientated with speed metal interludes ‘ Jam the ramp’ and ‘die tonight’ are two perfect examples of this. A few traces of percussion can be heard on some songs that remind me of Manilla Road ‘Crystal Logic’, overall songs are very raw. Listening to this is refreshing. Great cover art also.
