Aberdeen's nwobhm band The Restless Breed exist since 1980 as a young school band by the name Saracen. After some letters from another band called Saracen they changed their band name in Blaze. The band played traditional nwobhm with lots of great melodic hardrock influences.This band was just one out of the dozens, but only a few bands were reaching the top playing this kind of music. The Restless Breed was much more melodic than all others, like bands who are more inspired by American hardrock bands like Teaze and Riot. This band was different from the rest, this band played great melodic heavy metal in the vein of Diamond Head, Saxon & Demon. Even though they can support a band like Diamond Head (Aberdeen Scotland, 1984) they never got a chance to break through. Still I think many oldschool hardrock heavy metal bangers will be in extase if they listen to this cd with classic hardrock songs. The Restless Breed sounds like a mix between old American hardrock bands like Boston, Y&T, Riot and Teaze and old British bands like Demon, Saxon, Chinawhite and Diamond Head. Great Hardrock without any excuse. |

Gut Ding will Weile haben... das scheinen sich The Restless Breed aus dem schottischen Aberdeen wohl auch gedacht zu haben, denn anders ist's wohl kaum zu erklären, dass die Ursprünge dieses Album bereits bis ins Jahr 1980 zurückgehen, als die Band -- damals noch unter dem Namen Saracen (übrigens nicht zu verwechseln mit Rob Bendelow's gleichnamiger Truppe) -- die Grundsteine zu Songs wie "Saracen", "Amazon Woman" oder "Aces High" legte. Weshalb auch immer sind diese und weiter Hammertracks damals aber nie richtig aufgenommen und veröffentlicht worden und so kam es wie es kommen musste und die ehemaligen Saracen-Mucker David Macleod (Gesang), David McLauchlin (Gitarre) und David Steele (Bass) haben sich im Jahre 2003 zusammen mit Steve Allan an der zweiten Gitarre und Malcom Donald an den Drums wieder ins Studio begeben und ein komplettes Album eingezimmert auf welchem sich neben neuen Versionen der bereits genannten Uraltsongs auch brandneue Tracks wie das geniale "Mr Grey Regrets" tummeln!! |

Great classic metal from Scotland in the style of Saxon, Thin Lizzy, Riot. All tracks were written in the early 80's - highly recommended album for any fan of NWOBHM! |

THE RESTLESS BREED/Hiding In Plain Sight-This is some excellent NWOBHM style of music that will get the neck moving and the fists pumping in the air with the leather spikes. Think Riot, Saxon and all those classic bands from the 80's. I love the guitar sound as riff after riff had the metal flowing in my head. The production is perfect and the vocals are like Biff from Saxon. 12 tunes and not a bad one in the bunch. A must have. Info:
