PEGAZUS / THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN

These guys have been described as the Australian Iron Maiden, if you throw in a bit of Classic Judas Priest and put Vince Neil of Motley Crue on vocals and you have something a little nearer the mark.

All the songs are written and performed with a passion that is impossible to fake and make this a joy to listen to especially if you like riff orientated Power Metal. When tracks like "Hollywood Angel", "The Headless Horseman" and "Ballad Of A Thin Man" (a tribute to the late Phil Lynott) come thundering out of your speakers, you cant but help sit up and take notice.

This is a fine piece of work and would grace anybody's stereo; there is also some very good artwork in the booklet to represent each song. If you haven't heard of them before this is a fine introduction to a great band.
