TWISTED SISTER

Special edition featuring 5 bonus tracks of the classic debut album from 1982 by American Heavy Metal legends TWISTED SISTER, one of the most charismatic and influential bands in the history of Heavy Metal and Hard Rock. Originally released by the British label Secret Records after years of relentless work on the New York club circuit, "Under the Blade" captured the band at its rawest, heaviest and most aggressive stage, long before the commercial breakthrough that would come with later releases. Led by the unmistakable Dee Snider, TWISTED SISTER delivered an explosive blend of Heavy Metal, Hard Rock and rebellious attitude that would become its trademark.

Within the band's catalog, "Under the Blade" stands out for its darker and more forceful sound compared to the albums that would later bring international success. The group still retained much of the aggression forged in the New York club scene, delivering direct, energetic and highly distinctive songwriting. Today regarded as an essential classic of early-1980s American Heavy Metal, the album documents the birth of one of the decade's most recognizable bands, showcasing a wilder and less commercial side than the one that would later make TWISTED SISTER a worldwide phenomenon.
