And I know that America is too vast with people too vast to ever be degraded to the low level of a slave nation, and I can go hitch hiking down that road and on into the remaining years of my life knowing that outside of a couple fights in bars started by drunks I'll have not a hair on my head (and I need a haircut) harmed by Totalitarian cruelty --

Review: Desolation Angels – Burning Black (2022)

Desolation Angels - Desolation Angels - 1986
Eponymous debut album - Iron Maiden influenced NWOBHM from the mid-80s. Never had this album - did have their self-released 7″ from two years earlier, but sold to a “collector”, wish I never had!
