Blitzkrieg - A Time of Changes (30th Anniversary Edition)

by BLITZKRIEG

supported by

Lute FP A classic album re-recorded by the current lineup so the world can experience an otherwise obscure record. The production isn’t as good as the band’s earlier stuff, suggesting they were going for a specific aesthetic.

Of all Blitzkrieg’s stuff on BC, I like ‘Sins and Greed’ the best, but this is their ‘first’ album with the killer s/t song made famous by Metallica in the early 80s. This is a must-have for any headbanger who lived the era.

For the record, Metallica died along with Cliff...

about

2015 sees the 35th anniversary of the band Blitzkrieg who came into existence in 1980.Although their debut single (on Neat records) was released in 1981, Buried Alive b/s Blitzkrieg' it was not till 1985 that the band recorded their debut album as vocalist Brian Ross was involved with his other band, Satan recording and touring their debut classic 'Court In The Act`
30 years on because of catalogue sale and resale 'A Time Of Changes' is lost in the vaults of corporate hell and may never see the light of day again.That said the current line up of Blitzkrieg wanted this album available to fans so they have completely rerecorded the album and added two bonus tracks.'Too Wild To Tame' which should have made the LP back in 1980 but for time restrictions of vinyl then would not fit !
It was eventually recorded by another Neat records stablemate, Avenger,
The second bonus track has never been released before though written at the time . 'JealousÂ Love' was the last song pennedÂ by the Ross/Sirroto partnership which fueled the early version of the band
All the classic tracks are here too on this album including many still played live today which included the Metallica covered 'Blitzkrieg' track
It also features guess twin guitar appearances on 'Pull The Trigger' by Satan's Russ Tippins and Steve Ramsey.

Great new artwork has been commissioned for the new version too by South American artist Ivan Chacon fronting a new 12 page booklet full of sleeve notes by Brian Ross,lyrics and new photos from the past and present line up.
