Description

DOMESTIC $ 5  PLUS  $ 1   INTERNATIONAL $ 21  PLUS  $ 7  Crysys was an American metal band that released  one album in 1981. There was not many American metal albums and few were on major labels at the time.  Crysys, like fellow American heavy metalers Cirith Ungol and Manilla Road, went the indie route in 1981.  Hard As Rock was released on Long St. Records.   In 1983 Hard As Rock came out on the Metal Works label with a different cover .  The new cover photo was actually just the back cover of the original LP.  Like many NWOBHM albums of the same time period, it was a the low-budget / underground sound of Hard As Rock that makes it an endearing listen.  One of my favorite cuts is Blue Steel, which houses a simple, but catchy main riff.  Oddly, the vocals on this track sound like they were emanating from across the street (and through a megaphone), but it’s all good.  Another highlight is the semi-ballad Touch Me .  I wish Crysys had put a little more time into fully developing this tune, because I think it could have been great.

Okay, so I guess I can’t get too carried away.  I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Hard As Rock is an essential masterpiece.  So why all my excitement?  I dunno.  I guess I really have to respect any American band that proudly flew the flag of metal when it wasn’t necessarily the cool thing to do.  ORIGINAL SEALED COPIES ARE NOT ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET BUT HERE.
