RHABSTALLION - Back In The Saddle (NEW*LIM. BLACK VINYL DLP*NWOBHM CLASSIC)

Golden Core Records 2021 – Brandnew limited DLP in Black Vinyl – Return of NWOBHM Legend with some classic and some new Songs – a real must have ! Incl. 4 Excl. Vinyl only Bonus tracks !

Rhabstallion are of course no strangers to the scene! They set their first fragrance brand on the cult sampler "New Electric Warriors" (1980, Logo Records), which serious NWOBHM collectors (must) have in their collection. It gets more difficult and expensive with the 1981 single "Day To Day / Breadline", which is now a real rarity. An appearance on the BBC program "Bubbling Under" was the next highlight, but it could not be further built on. For various reasons, Rhabstallion broke up despite offers from record companies. In 1994 the label Vinyl Tap released a kind of best of called "Day To Day" on CD and the group appeared in the NWOBHM books from Iron Pages Verlag. Since then, the name has manifested itself in these fan and collector circles.

Rhabstallion have been back since 2018, with the original line-up! Their appearance at the Brofest in Newcastle drew a number of good reviews, some with superlatives such as "best group of the entire festival". This energy can now be found on “Back In The Saddle”, which consists of old and new compositions. The production is at the upper limit of "old school", but not modern. This also applies to the songs, which do not try to “mix the old with the modern”, which basically goes wrong with such acts. Here, the traditional NWOBHM values ​​are brought into the year 2021 without bending or ingratiating. Everything is real and authentic, yet powerfully and skilfully produced - damn rare for a returned, "old band"!
