Release Notes:
Although Twisted Sister had been slugging it out on
the New York-area bar/club scene for nearly a
decade by the early '80s (developing a large
following in the process), no major record label
would sign the act. Noticing that England was in
the midst of a heavy metal resurgence (dubbed the
New Wave of British Heavy Metal), the quintet moved
over to the U.K., where they recorded their debut
album, Under the Blade, issued in 1982 on the
independent Secret Records. UFO bassist Pete Way
produced the album, which featured many of the
band's best compositions from their club days. The
chilling title track remains one of the band's best
and has became a perennial concert favorite, while
other metallic highlights include the opening "What
You Don't Know (Sure Can Hurt You)," "Sin After
Sin," "Shoot 'Em Down," and "Tear It Loose." The
band also brings the volume down a notch or two
with the slow-burning tracks "Run for Your Life"
and "Destroyer," while the 1999 CD reissue on
Spitfire included a bonus track not on the original
record ("I'll Never Grow Up Now!"). Under the Blade
remains one of Twisted Sister's hardest rocking
albums and is highly recommended to lovers of
early-'80s British heavy metal.
