Second Assault

2012 release from the Swedish rockers. Second Assault hails to the early 70s when Heavy Metal was just becoming defined. This was a time when a Uli Jon Roth-led Scorpions and a fledgling Judas Priest were where fusing the colossal riffs of Black Sabbath, Zeppelin and Grand Funk to the soulful virtuosity of Hendriz, Deep Purple, and Wishbone Ash. Horisont can be found proudly jamming at the point where flares and cheesecloth shirts gave way to denim and leather. Utterly infectious, soulful and driving heavy rock for fans of the golden age, this is an album worthy of sitting alongside Scorpion's Taken By Force, Wishbone Ash's Argus and Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous.
