SHIPPING DOMESTIC ; $ 5.00 EACH ADDITIONAL $ 1.00 IMTERNATIONAL ( NEW RATES AS ON JAN 17 SORRY ) ; FIRST 2 RECORDS $ 23.00 EACH ADDITIONAL $ 6.00. German prog/hard rock beginnings way back in 1974 with their debut "Fading Beauty" LP, and through their succession of albums(each a bit harder edged than the last, with the original prog sound gradually fading away) like 1980's "Back On My Hill", the cult hard rock classics. "Rock Lions" LP from 1981 begins to demonstrate some heavy metal proficiency but still had more of a hard rock vibe). In some ways Faithful Breath's development is similar to that of Krokus, with a long series of ok albums all leading to two classics(in the case of Krokus, their '82 "One Vice At A Time" LP and "Headhunter" LP from '83).
When that needle did drop however, what listerers were met with was a well-produced wall of hugely melodic, expertly played, well-written European heavy metal that musically was in the vein of Accept, Sinner, Trance, Bullet, Viva, Black Out-"Evil Game" LP and fellow label-mates Axe Victims, Ostrogoth(Belgium), Scavenger(Belgium), crossed with the cold, emotionally bleak and icy vibrations of Swedish masters like Heavy Load, Overdrive, Glory Bells' Band, 220 Volt, Torch, Axewitch, etc. So while it is a very German record it transcends borders and stands as a testament to the sheer heavy metal power and glory of 80's Euro-metal.
! So if you're a fan of classic European metal, 80's German metal, proto-power metal, etc., and have not heard Rock Lions you should add it to your list!
