Heavy Metal Ears

One of the first Dutch metal bands, Picture, enjoyed success in their native Holland as well as places like Germany, Japan, Mexico and South America in the early eighties, playing a brand of straightforward metal. In 1981 Picture released their second album Heavy Metal Ears. Better production led to much stronger album sales. The title track and Rock And Roll/Under Your Spell were notable tracks from this classic metal outing. Picture, founded under the smoke of Rotterdam by Ronald Van Prooijen on vocals, Jan Bechtum on guitar, Rinus Vreugdenhil on bass and Laurens Bakker on drums had something of their own to say and made a metal statement that would help forge what would come be known as Euro-Power-Metal. 5 Bonus Tracks are added!
