RAZOR (SHEEPDOG ERA) - In 40 Minutes

Time for another episode of our In 40 Minutes series where we curate what we think are the best 40 minutes of music from an underrated band's career ... with headbangers and hard rockers in mind (ie. you won't be hearing many ballads or hits!). Basically, it's what we'd put on a single vinyl release (being limited to 20 minutes per side) if we were asked to put a Best Of record together to convince the uninitiated long haired miscreant that this band is worth checking out. This episode is dedicated to Stace "Sheepdog" McLaren-era Razor. The ex-vocalist fronted the band through five full lengths and 1 EP, employing one of the best set of pipes in the business. So come and join us celebrate what is my fave thrash metal outfit of all time. Long live the underground, last chance here it goes!!! Note: Bob Reid era episode to follow.
