Powerslave

Themes of ancient history collide with modern geopolitical panic across this 1984 release. The band utilizes a broad scope to build complex stories, most notably on the final song which incorporates lines from Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Sessions held at a Bahamian facility known for high output yielded a sharp, energetic quality. The band maintains tight control over their instruments, allowing the extended arrangements to retain a steady push throughout the record.
