Since its original release in 1984, Piledriver's bolt-from-the-blue debut <i>Metal Inquisition</i> has found a legion of fans worldwide, over successive generations and spanning all stripes of metal. The album was the work of one metal maniac named Gord Kirchin, who became the selfsame "Pile Driver" so eloquently depicted on the album's cover art, and a certain "Bud Slaker" - AKA Leslie Howe, whose resume did not include any heavy metal before nor after. Nevertheless, together the duo recorded a crude 'n' rude document of blitzkrieg metal spirit, spit forth across songs that encompassed scuzzy speed metal and pounding traditional metal. The fact that the band was Canadian figured into this style of sound, as one could detect the likes of Anvil AND Exciter here. Taut and tight, the 37 minutes of <i>Metal Inquisition</i> ,demanded repeat plays...and now it will demand those repeat plays as Shadow Kingdom officially releases the album for the first time in over 20 years! The CD version contains the full master of the album, including a "Crazy On You"-style intro to "Pile Driver" as it was originally intended, while the vinyl version will stay how they were in the '80s. Absolutely mandatory metal madness!
