Oz - Fire In The Brain

Amongst my favorite pure heavy metal albums.

Nice album album, non song stands out but its 80's metal album, just like well its Scandinavian thing you know.

Early 80's metal at its purest imaginable form. Even then they have a clear and well-defined personality of their own, kinda like Stormwitch, but sadly these guys couldn't manage to keep the quality of their later records as high as this.

I'm still pissed off that in my teenage years in early 2000's I happened to find a brand new copy of this album from some obscure record store for a few euros and decided to pass, since back then Finnish cult metal wasn't a thing even in Finland and very few people knew about this band or the record. I sure didn't.

Been going through the top albums by year and just discovered this one. Super enjoyable!

1983 Finland and heavy metal? What do you know, you guys, what do you know. Big sounding stuff, however I get the impression that this record never became really popular even when it was released because even myself listened to it quite late first time and I think I'm quite familiar with heavy metal and Finnish bands; OZ isn't really one of those known acts even in this country. Well, some times you just need to go deeper with this stuff, or not if you're one of normies; life is choices
