Griffin
Flight of the Griffin
Shrapnel Records SH-1015 LP 1984 (USA)
Flight of the Griffin could be described as a fierce amalgam of Brocas Helm's idiosyncratic dungeon metal, the raw but epic vibe of Battle at Helm's Deep-era Attacker, and Savage Grace's "Maiden on amphetamines" approach. Much like the aforementioned Hexx and Chastain records, this is a searing if rough-hewn U.S. metal masterpiece packed with quality songs, masterful-but-not-overly-polished guitar work, and one hell of an unhinged vocal performance by William McKay—who matches Hexx's Dan Bryant in sheer lunatic intensity. Flight of the Griffin is a vibrant, raw, glorious metal album that any traditional metal fan needs to hear.

Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure. The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing. This avoids the cancellation issue, but appears to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a few bucks less for ground.
