Tyran Pace--Long Live Metal

Tyran Pace--Long Live Metal (1985/Noise) Rating--8.0

The earliest band for vocalist Ralf Scheepers, and this is where the first comparisons to Rob Halford came from. At this point in his career, he's almost identical to the Metal God. The overall voice, the little inflections and nuances--everything. Musically, this is as close to classic (late 70's/early 80's) Priest that any band will get. Songwriting, solos, the works. Quality-wise it's a notch below, but it's no secret who they were trying to emulate.
There are a number of fast-paced burners, including "Shockwaves," "Raid the Victims," and the wide-open "Wheels of Love". "Red Sweat" is strong and chopping, and "Hot to Rock" is a sassy track.
Other good cuts include "Law and Order" and "Killers on the Highway".
