July 28, 2015, 8 years ago
The release date of the Crack Jaw album Nightour on CD is September 4 via Karthago Records.
An official description below:
“The history of Crack Jaw, founded in Frankfurt/Main (Germany), goes back to the year 1982 when Nightout was released in 1985. ‘New Tomorrow’ and especially ‘Never Tell No Lies’ on the LP's first side are typical German heavy metal songs with top compositions and competently played. Singer Stephan Kiegerl was not an expert in English pronunciation, but his voice suited very well the untamed power of the songs. So time doesn't seem to have taken its toll on Nightout, if you listen to the album now, 30 years after its first release. Side two offers you a great hit with ‘Galley Without Aim’; ‘Struck By Thunder’ is played fast, very melodic and catchy, and the album is rounded off with ‘Seven Days Of Wonder’. Nightout is no doubt a forgotten classic of heavy metal, now for the first time on CD with the original excellent sound.”
