Part 21 in the NWOBHM singles replica series

Mini cd replica of the legendary NWoBHM EP from Tysondog. Itfeatures the same tracks like on the original single. Officialreissue authorized by the band in a limited run of 500 copiesonly.

Something of a refined anomaly (along with the Tygers of PanTang) amid Neat's roughshod stable of heavy metal acts, Wallsend,England's Tysondog had a lot more in common with New Wave ofBritish Heavy Metal giants like Iron Maiden and Saxon thanproto-thrashing label mates such as Raven and Venom. That is atleast in terms of sonic direction, because commercial success wasto remain ever beyond the reach of their modest songwritingabilities, and, ultimately, surely contributed to their very shortand unfulfilling career. By the end of the 1980s, you'd behard-pressed to find many heavy metal fans who were even aware ofTysondog's existence. Their 1985 Shoot to Kill EP features fourtracks, Hammerhead from their debut album, Beware Of The Dog, from1984 as well as 3 previously unreleased tracks. By this time theband is still moulded in the NWOBHM style, but speed metal andproto-thrash continue further seeping into their sound. While thisEP is enjoyable enough, it isn't entirely necessary. I wouldn't besurprised if these three tracks were originally meant for the debutfull length, but in the end didn't make the cut. As should beexpected, the shred solos are pretty nuts. They are plentiful andenjoyable through and through. The best track here is Hammerheadbut if you have the debut album you already have this. Its anabsolutely fantastic song. Definitely having some Maiden influence,it's thoroughly catchy and the riffs are instantly classic. Stilldoesn't it excusing it to released once again when it has no reasonthough.
