BLIND ASSASSIN, the legendary underground US metal band from California, were formed in the mid-80s and has gained a cult status through the years, due to their majestic epic metal demo tape from 1986, "Put to the Sword". The band had a totally epic image, resembling the style of MANOWAR from "Into Glory Ride" era.
CULT METAL CLASSICS offers this demo to you for the first time on CD, with 7 bonus tracks in total! 5 of them were recorded live in a studio through some rehearsal sessions and 2 of them are taken from a live show of the band. All songs were re-mastered and restored for better listening experience.
The music of BLIND ASSASSIN will drive all epic metal fans nuts! This is what we call PURE EPIC METAL music. Very few managed to touch the majesty of MANOWAR, and we believe that BLIND ASSASSIN has been among the selected few. Similar to WOTAN's "Thunderstorm" Demo and DOMINE's Demo material.
Comes with a great 16-page booklet, including lyrics, interview with the founding member Kevin Jackson, story of the band and tons of rare photos! A bonus DVD is also included with 2 80s live show performances of the band!
As BLIND ASSASSIN put it, get ready to experience, "Four Men, Four Swords, One Engine of Destruction". HAIL!!!
