I’m not sure many people outside of Southern Ontario are familiar with Blind Vengeance. Hailing from Oshawa, this is the band that Harry Hess from Harem Scarem was in. This album first saw the light of day in ’85 and was the band’s second release.
There isn’t a whole lot on here that points the way to the future, and it’s only six years before HS would start recording. The songs are leaning more into metal world, as that was more popular at the time. Metal Over Mind is the standout track for me. A simple four to the floor groove with a simple riff and I’m sold. There is even attempt at some good old thrash with Give Me The Night. Plus, there is a tribute to Butchers shops everywhere with Free Meat.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
6.5/10 from The Grooveman.
