Metal Inquisition

Shadow Kingdom Records is proud to present a long-overdue reissue of Piledrivers cult-classic debut album, Metal Inquisition. Since its original release in 1984, Piledrivers bolt-from-the-blue debut Metal Inquisition has found a legion of fans worldwide, over successive generations and spanning all stripes of metal. The album was the work of one metal maniac named Gord Kirchin, who became the selfsame Pile Driver so eloquently depicted on the albums cover art, and a certain Bud Slaker AKA Leslie Howe, whose resume did not include any heavy metal before nor after. Nevertheless, together the duo recorded a crude n rude document of blitzkrieg METAL spirit, spit forth across songs that encompassed scuzzy speed metal and pounding traditional metal. The fact that the band was Canadian figured into this style of sound, as one could detect the likes of Anvil AND Exciter here.
