VANADIUM – SEVENTHEAVEN (1989, Green Line Records)

One of the top 10 rarest cds into the MHR/AOR circle nowadays, in the same league as Florence 99, NVS, Kidd Wikkid, De5 and Oslo. Super-fantastic Italian MHR/AOR album comparable in style to Florence 99, KC Rose, Surrender, Oxido and Douglas, it is one of the best MHR/AOR releases of all times!
Sought after by the top collectors worldwide, this cd was released in extremely limited quantities by a very small label. Vanadium was one of the greatest 80'(but till nowdays underrated) european metal band.This band made the history of Italian '80 metal. First albums(Metal Rock, A Race with the Devil,Game Over,Born to fight)are stronger,sound "more metallic";Sevetheaven(the last album with English lyrics) is an overture to a more commercial melodic hard rock with americanized sound.Without dubts Sevetheaven is a great album, but more energetic than a classical standard AOR: still in 1989 Vanadium always rocks!

Very solid MHR/AOR Album without doubt. I like all the songs here. It costs me $21 at Schmankerl records, so this is disposable in these times at last. Great Blog Manny, great job!

Best Regards.
