Devil Childe
A little-known release from (what was believed at the time) a
trio of teenagers.
Taking an early-
Iron Maiden
influence (indeed, the opening song,
"Devil Childe", bears a striking resemblance to "Wrathchild") and a
great fuzzy guitar sound, the end result was pretty basic stuff
(as witnessed by titles such as "Repent Or Die" and "Grave Robber"),
that at times was quite cool, and never lacking for energy.
Noteable for the quote on the album sleeve (paraphrased, from
memory) "And if you think we suck, we do; our girlfriends have big tits".
The band never really achieved any fame and presumably disbanded
some time after this recording.
One for the archives.
In reality, this was an anonymous side project for Joe Hasselvander
(Pentagram,
and later
Raven)
) and Jack Starr, then of
Virgin Steele.
Last Lineup
