SPOILER - GORINCHEM (ZUID-HOLLAND)

BIOGRAPHY: Spoiler was formed after Crash disbanded. Where Crash concentrated on playing rock music, Spoiler followed the path of 'hard rock' with a feel for melody but also some metallic corners. Spoiler did some demo stuff, which was followed by a track on the 3rd edition of the Metal Power seven inches. This track was one of their bests so far, a real straight forward heavy metal song with classic riffs which deserve the monikker 'heavy' indeed!. In 1986 Spoiler released their 7" called "Kick down the Wall". This song was pretty good, but sounds like it's released in '81 rather than '86. The band didn't really progressed since the song on the Metal Power 7". I hear you thinking, what the hell, weren't you editors a bunch of conservative blokes? Yes, we are, but for the band Spoiler this was rather bad, since they never impressed many people (at least, not outside their region). Anyway, I like this song, as well as the B-side which is a ballad (called "Starblind"). The band felt the need to make their music maybe a little more attractive. They started using make-up, line-up changes followed and not really much was ever heard from Spoiler.
