The Metal Files

Super rare closet classick!  This was put out by Mercenary/Celluloid Records in 1987 and I’ve probably owned it for about 15 or so years and until today I don’t think I have listened to this in about 10 years.  Not even sure where I found it.  Doesn’t matter.  It’s got some cool stuff on here like Wrathchild (who changed their name to Wrathchild America), Attacker and Halloween etc.  Those bands ended up being relatively well-known at least in the underground metal scene.  Matriarch is pretty decent.  Jett Blakk is pretty average thrash.  The Lethal Aggression is pretty bad…but then again if you’re into skate core/thrash/NYHC/punk, you may dig this one.  Meanstreak is about as average as hard rock could be.  The final track by The Boys is pretty awful.

1. “Armed To Deliver” –Wrathchild (3:56)
2. “Red Dawn” –Matriarch (3:53)
3. “Battered Child” –Jett Blakk (3:39)
4. “Generic Punk” –Lethal Aggression (2:21)
5. “Emanon” – Attacker (4:04)
6. “Come and Get It” -Halloween (3:18)
7. “Lost Stranger” –Mean Streak (2:38)
8. “The Boys Keep Rollin'” –The Boys (4:14)

I’m posting this since it’s pretty rare and has some decent songs on it.

Enjoy.
