BITCH

Vinyl re-issue in black wax of the debut album from 1983 by this pioneering American Heavy Metal band from Los Angeles. With "Be My Slave", BITCH became one of the earliest bands signed to Metal Blade Records, delivering a powerful blend of American Heavy Metal, touches of Speed Metal and the provocative stage image led by the charismatic Betsy Bitch. Released during the rise of the U.S. metal scene, the album established the band's underground reputation and eventually earned cult status among fans of early American Heavy Metal.

Beyond its controversial image, the album stands out for its strong riffing, Betsy Bitch's commanding vocal performance and a collection of songs that perfectly captures the sound of the Los Angeles metal scene before the commercial Glam Metal explosion. Its historical importance was further enhanced when it became one of the albums targeted during the PMRC campaign against Heavy Metal in the mid-eighties, inadvertently bringing even greater attention to the band. "Be My Slave" remains an essential release in the history of early American Heavy Metal.
