Item :
WILD PUSSY ~ MECHANARCHY 12" EP / MINI LP
Original 1988 U.K. pressing released on the Metallion Records label PUSS 001.
Description :
Super rare NWOBHM classic now very hard to find.
The first, and only, official recording from ‘Wild Pussy’ was the E.P. called ‘Mechanarchy’, which was recorded and released in 1988 and featured four band-composed tracks. ‘Mechnarchy’ was self-financed by the band and put out on their own ‘Metallion’ label and had no official distribution, available only by purchase from their gigs or via mail-order. Magazine critics were incredibly positive about the band's first recording, notably ‘Kerrang’ magazine (‘Lyrically inspired and built on a sound that begs comparison to ‘Metallica’ and ‘Queensryche’, if those two had a bast+++ child then you could be staring at it’ - Phil Wilding); ‘Metal Hammer’ magazine (4 our of five star review) (‘Imagine a mix between the brilliance of ‘Maiden’ coupled to the sheer blitzing of ‘Slayer’ – Tim Oakes) and ‘Metal Forces’ (‘beyond the large talent of vocalist Jon Blood, you have the awesome abilities of twin guitarist Skies and Storm who combine better here than (Iron Maiden’s) Murray and Smith and even (Metallica’s) Hammet and Hetfield!’ – Dave Shack).
The quality of the music an musicianship on display on ‘Mechanarchy’ was beyond question, with vocalist Jon Blood also proving himself an excellent lyricist who had a good ear for word-play and dynamics. In ‘Ready To Strike’ he told of ‘warring factions of huge cybernetic machines’, in ‘Hatred’ he spoke of ‘political corruption’. Blood also told of fantastic ‘Cthulu-myth’ like tales of ‘creatures from the abyss’ in ‘The Vigil’, and explored his own ‘inner demons’ in ‘Evil Speak’.
Over the years, ‘Mechanarchy’ appears to have become regarded as something of a minor metal classic
