OZ

6th album from 2011 by these Finnish veterans and a long-awaited comeback after two decades of silence. Rather than updating their sound, OZ chose to reconnect with the style that made them a cult name during the 1980s, combining new material with several re-recordings from their classic era.

"Burning Leather" delivers a strong dose of Traditional Heavy Metal rooted in the spirit of the NWOBHM, featuring direct riffing, catchy melodies and a proudly old-school attitude. The album successfully balances nostalgia and freshness, proving that the band's passion for classic Heavy Metal remained fully intact while reaffirming its place among the historic names of the Finnish Metal scene.

Recommended for fans of: TOKYO BLADE, SATAN, ANGEL WITCH, HEAVY LOAD.
