So, after Steeler went their separate ways it wasn’t long after that Keel was born. This is their debut album and was released in ’84 on Shrapnel Records. After this, they signed a major label contract with Vertigo and put out The Right To Rock which contained three songs from this release. They were Speed Demon, Tonight You’re Mine, and the Stones’ cover Let’s Spend The Night Together.
Anthems are Ron’s forte and that’s what made his name. Lay Down The Law, Born Ready, Metal Generation, and my favourite Speed Demon are this record’s anthem contributions. I do like a double guitar assault and Brian Jay and Marc Ferrari complement each other really well.
It’s not the best Keel album, it is quite raw sounding but for a debut, it rocks.
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
