THE ORDER “1986”

THE ORDER
“1986”
(Massacre)
Back in 1986 I was totally immersed in the extreme metal scene and I had gotten rid of all my hardrock/heavy metal albums (well most of them anyway). In 2012 I have bought back most of those albums over the years and I whip myself for being so stupid to get rid of them in the first place. But that is youthful arrogance for you. Hardrocking Swiss The Order are on their fourth album. I can’t remember having heard them before; I might have seen their name around but not given them the time of the day. Until now that is. I gotta admit that I like this album. It’s not in any way original but then what is. To my ears this does not sound like 1986. This is as fresh today as it would have been back in the 80s.
