Write your own review. Twenty years after their glory days in the 80's, these guys still have it, and Windrider is a crushing, smashing, headbanging lesson in what heavy fucking metal is supposed to be about. Back For Vengeance 6. The vocalist is the real talking point on here, as he has a very smooth, almost mainstream-y tone that doesn't carry any of the usual aspects you'd expect from a metal singer. He sticks to a comfortable mid-range, and although his voice might sound odd at first combined with the music on here, it's quite a sticky and memorable combination once you let it sink in a bit - hell, it should by the end of the album! You just can't hate this; it's impossible. The solos are excellent, the riffs are rock-solid, and singer Bill Ramp just rules with grace and power to spare.
