Mithrandir - Magick E.P.




British NWOBHM band active in the early 1980s.
Members, Graham Gargiulo, Keith Billson, Paul Chester.

This weirdo is from 1982. Slightly inept and naive. You can tell these kids were just going for it the best they damn well could. It lacks any real power but makes up for it with sincerity and guts. I love this EP. Not the best studio production either but then again i can't imagine they had any real budget. This is what the infancy of Heavy Metal is all about for me. Kids doing it on their own and creating, trying the best they can to make some shit happen. In that way metal and punk aren't that far apart IMHO. Just different in subject matter and style of playing. Don't let the punks fool you, they all wanted to play guitar like Eddie VanHalen! hahahaha.....
