Marshall Law

I see Amazon will rerelease the S/T in June. This is one of the biggest overlooked bands out there but if you like 80's power metal you should check them out. The sound gets compared to Priest at times and I hear a NWOBHM influence but I also hear some Fifth Angel. Troo metal.

Sounds like something I'd like. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I love their debut album, have it on vinyl. Their second album was good too, but their first is the best by MARSHALL LAW in my opinion.

The only one I have is Razorhead and I love it. Angry classic metal. Makes me think of Judas Priest's Jugulator.

I should really get some more.

Yeah, Razorhead is very aggressive. I think with the right push they would've been much bigger, akin to Metal Church.

Why are they called the poor man's judas priest?

They're from the same area of England as Priest, and just happen to sound remarkably like them.

They sound better then the last Priest outing and I hear a lot more then just Priest.

Heard of them but never actually heard them. Sounds like something I'd like so it's time to add them to the ever growing list.

Same here.

I hear you. I have literally hundreds of albums on my list. Sadly, I will never probably be able to acquire them all. Just way too many albums out there.

My wife allows me a pretty generous budget weekly. Even with that - I can't attain it all.

Oh well ... I guess I need to learn to not be so greedy.

Here, listen to Razorhead and I bet you put them near the top of the list.

Together with Blaze's The Man Who Would Not Die, Razorhead was my favourite 2008 release.

It's funny,I used to be able to get a nice amount of cds monthly but a couple years back I had to take a new job with a pay cut and money's been tight .So I can't get anywhere near what I used to.It was hard keeping up before now it's nearly impossible. I still need to get Overkill's Ironbound yet.

LOL I still don't have the new Overkill either.

Heck, I've only purchased one 2010 album this year so far (the new Freedom Call).

My thing isn't so much that I can't afford to buy more ... but that it just isn't wise to buy more. I'd rather invest my money to be honest.

After all, I do have nearly 1,000 cds. That's a lot. I have probably 100 cds that I haven't even heard yet! I'm still catching up on 2009 albums that I already bought! LOLz.

My fun money is what I use to buy CDs with. I also gamble with it too!

There is no need to spend more than is necessary on fun. I try to tell my friends this all the time. Then they wonder why they don't have money! LOLz.

I bought their 2002 compilation Power Crazy. It was much cheaper and easier to find than getting all the other Marshall Law CDs.

Razorhead is still the only album I have.
