METAL DETECTOR CD METAL MONSTERS SUMMER ‘91 – Looking Back On An Old School Compilation CD


I bought this used CD for $4.99, several years ago at my local record store (Omega Music). It was released back in 1991 via FMQB (Friday Morning Quarterback Album Report Inc.). Yes, I never heard of FMQB until this CD crossed my path.

Metal Detector CD Metal Monsters Summer ‘91 has a track-list of 14 songs from 14 different bands/artists. Many of these bands on this CD I had never heard of; such as: The Almighty, Jagged Edge UK, Pleasure Bombs, Last Crack and Skrapp Mettle. Add in the old school metal cover art and graphics of this CD and I was sold!

The Almighty are from Scotland and Ricky Warwick is one of their founding members. Pleasure Bombs were a melodic hard rock/heavy metal band from the USA, with only 1 studio album released in 1991. Jagged Edge UK were a glam metal/hard rock band from (of course) the UK. Last Crack is a metal band from Madison, Wisconsin. Skrapp Mettle was a rowdy band of anonymous musicians, with crazy stage names such as Spunk (the lead vocalist). Their songs were of Steel Panther variety for 1991, with “Swallow That Load” appearing on this CD.

Metal heavyweights of Anthrax and Sacred Reich are on here, along with Steve Vai, Stryper and even Dweezil Zappa, making for quite a diverse compilation.

This CD may have been used; only its condition is like new. I consider it a very decent metal find! Thank you for visiting Metal Odyssey! Metal be thy name – Stone.
