Cassle - s/t, CD

Formed in the late '70s it’s not a surprise that Cassle has inherited those influences, in particular Deep Purple, Rush, and Judas Priest. Also since their original EP wasn’t released until 1983, they definitely have a lot of Iron Maiden and Saxon in their sound as well. I don’t think I’d call Cassle a metal band though (even though their pictures look like they are). They are probably more of a Progressive Rock band with '80s metal influences. This is some unique music, very off-beat, dreamy, and moody with strange vocals. Their career was very short lived and some of the unreleased songs on here are arguably just as strong as the original EP if not better. This is basically a collection of all their essential material with an nice thick booklet for your enjoyment. [Info from Shadow Kingdom Records]
