1984

Here is another compilation album of interest from South America, the 1984 release “Metal Pesado”. This is the third of its kind released by CBS over there from back in the day that I have seen (got the other two in the old collection). Apparently, hard rock and metal was exploding over there at the time and the labels did their best to promote their bands. Some really good tunes on this album, like Ozzy “Bark At The Moon”, Judas Priest “Freewheel Burning”, Accept “Balls To The Wall” and 220 Volt “Firefall”. I like these weird albums and they did serve a purpose. 220 Volt, of course, came out of Sweden (Östersund, Jämtland County). They were in good company.
