Info:
Picture and early Queensryche around the time of their first EP or even early Iron Maiden, that is exactly what you get with this EP. (also reminds me of Heathen's Rage, but few probably remember them.) Vocalist Bobby Hicks has a killer, high-pitched voice that fits so well with the music. Hearing this disc, I wonder why it was this band was never offered a contract with a bigger label. The music and vocals really are that good. Perhaps it was because by the time 1989 rolled around this type of galloping heavy metal was no longer the 'in' thing and you had to be either a thrash band or a pop metal band to get a contract. Regardless, "Shipwrecked" is a fine example of true metal by a band with a long history of not selling out to trends. The bonus track is nothing more than a practice demo and a joke.
