Blind Fury

Nineteen years after its first release, the only album that Blind Fury ever made, "Out Of Reach, has been re-released. And who are Blind Fury? Many of you might wonder if that re-release is worthy or not. I will explain to you the whole situation.
Blind Fury is a Post New Wave Of British Heavy Metal band, because "Out of reach was released just one year after (1985) the second period of N.W.O.B.H.M. had ended (1984). The band consists of all the members of Satan, another N.W.O.B.H.M. band, except for the singer. In Satan Brian Ross was the singer, but in Blind Fury the singer was Lou Taylor. Also, after the disbandment of Blind Fury, some of the band members created Skyclad and others created Pariah.
In the musical part of the album now I have to say that "Out Of Reach is a very good N.W.O.B.H.M. album. All the members of the band are very good musicians and Lou Taylor's voice is also very good. Their music sounds heavier than the classical N.W.O.B.H.M. bands and it sounds a little like Gloven Hoof.
The bad thing with this band is that they have written only one album like most of the N.W.O.B.H.M. bands did. This re-release of "Out Of Reach is a very good move from Majestic Rock Records because it was very difficult (impossible is a better word) to do it.
All the fans of N.W.O.B.H.M. who don't have "Out Of Reach should check it out. I also think that all the Heavy Metal fans might like it because it's a pure Heavy Metal album.
In conclusion I have to say that this re-release was very good and that I would like to see more re-releases from that period from bands that their albums can't be found anymore.
