OZ

Vinyl re-issue in black wax with heavy cardboard cover with 5mm spine, lyric sheet and 12 page booklet of the 2nd album from 1983 by this veteran Finnish band, one of the pioneers of Heavy Metal in its homeland and a cult name within the European Metal scene of the 1980s. With "Fire in the Brain", OZ took a significant step forward from its debut, refining a style built upon the energy of the NWOBHM, the power of classic Heavy Metal and a raw attitude that gave the band a distinctive identity.

The songs stand out for their direct riffing, memorable choruses and energetic performances. More aggressive than much of the European Heavy Metal of the era, the album successfully combines speed, melody and power, earning its place as one of the landmark releases in Finnish Metal history and an essential record for fans of classic 1980s Heavy Metal.
