On this day (September 18, 1982) Twisted Sister released their debut album "Under The Blade" on the independent British record label called Secret Records. While Twisted Sister's "glam look" fooled many people, their music proved otherwise with guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda's pounding guitar riffs that displayed elements of traditional heavy metal. Under The Blade would pretty much remain a "secret" until it was later rereleased in 1985 by Atlantic Records. The tracks that really stood out to me on this album were "What You Don't Know (Sure Can Hurt You)", "Shoot 'Em Down," and the title track. I own the Secret Records version on vinyl and cassette. What are your favorite songs of the album? Were you able to buy it when it was released? Did you like or dislike this album? I am doing this blog for a school assignment and will be posting more entries in the days to come, so keep coming back to my blog to see new entries.
