Leather Heart

Man, if you're into classic 80s rock, you need to check this album out. It's another Stormspell gem. I've been spinning it for a few weeks now and the thing is fantastic. It's like a mix of traditional metal and the 80s versions of Motley Crue, Scorpions, and Cinderella.

Or something like that. I hate comparing bands. Haha. Anyway, check it out:

Amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Sounds really good..might have to get this. It kinda reminds me of the 80s band XYZ...

That's another one of Stormy's releases that I've had my eye on for awhile, but every time I look it up on CDBaby, it's out of stock...

I finally landed his release of Victim's "By the Neck" recently after coming up empty on it at CDBaby a bunch of times so I can wait...

According to Wiki's weirdly worded entry: "XYZ was originally created in Lyon (France) where Patt Fontaine and Terry Ilous were born and grew up. Then they moved to Los Angeles, and began a musical career in 1986."

Did not know that.

I do recall reading something years ago that Terry Ilous was French, but I never thought of XYZ as anything but a LA Strip hair band.

That Leather Heart sounds decent enough. I could probably listen to more.

Recently picked this one up and it's a scorcher. Worth checking out if you dig 80's melodic metal. Along with the references already made, I also detect a hint of Dokken with all the harmony vocals.

They also do a decent cover of 'Danger Zone'. No, not Kenny Loggins from 'Top Gun', you silly goose. The Black Sabbath tune from the non-Sabbathy Seventh Star album.
