│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ MASS was formed in Germany in the early 70s, and ║ │
│║ enjoyed a good doze of success - on a lower ║ │
│║ scale than leading German acts SCORPIONS and ║ │
│║ ACCEPT, of course û throughout their career. ║ │
│║ Between 1976 and 1986 MASS released eight albums ║ │
│║ and remained a memorable German band in the ║ │
│║ midst of the British early 80s invasion. With ║ │
│║ the band being long defunct now, MASSÆs music ║ │
│║ has one more chance to reach a younger (or more ║ │
│║ mature, no prob!) audience with these SPV re- ║ │
│║ releases; itÆs said that another couple of ║ │
│║ albums are to be re-released later in spring. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ MASSÆs music is quite typical in both the ôAngel ║ │
│║ Powerö and ôSwiss Connectionö albums. Originally ║ │
│║ released in 1980 and 1981, the CDs portray the ║ │
│║ in-your-face hardrockinÆ blend of MASS, with a ║ │
│║ strong 70s Hard Rock and Blue Rock vibe and even ║ │
│║ traces of Glam Rock. Labeled as a æMetalÆ act ║ │
│║ was quite an excessive sticker back then,not of ║ │
│║ course talkinÆ about later 80s standards and ║ │
│║ onwards. The first two albums of ACCEPT (1979Æs ║ │
│║ ôAcceptö and 1980Æs ôIÆm A Rabelö) have some ║ │
│║ parts in common or AustraliaÆs ROSE TATTO share ║ │
│║ some relevant points especially in the drum ║ │
│║ beats and some of the guitar leads. In MASSÆs ║ │
│║ case, though, the vocals are more æBritishÆ and ║ │
│║ in connection to the general up-tempo music ║ │
│║ style and sound someone could easily jump into ║ │
│║ the NWOBHM-related conclusion. Think of e.g. ║ │
│║ TYGERS OF PAN TANG, CHEVY or enough of the ║ │
│║ participants in the legendary ôMetal For Muthasö ║ │
│║ compilation. Yeah, weÆre talkinÆ æbout primal ║ │
│║ stuff here! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If you want to dig in the roots of Heavy Metal ║ │
│║ music as we now know and love it, albums like ║ │
│║ these two capture the sound and style loud music ║ │
│║ dressed up in while gradually transforming from ║ │
│║ 70s Hard Rock to 80s Heavy Metal. Featuring ║ │
│║ digipack covers but nothing more than plain 4- ║ │
│║ page booklets, ôAngel Powerö (being more æRockÆ) ║ │
│║ and ôSwiss Connectionö (being more æHeavyÆ) are ║ │
│║ appropriate examples of MASSÆs offerings years ║ │
│║ ago. ║ │
