[80's Trash Metal] Piledriver - Metal Inquisition & Stay Ugly

Ja genau ;-)

ich wollte euch die band Piledriver vorstellen...

In 1985 an unknown band called Piledriver burst onto the metal scene, with an over-the-top image (including a ridiculous album cover), tacky lyrics ("Sex With Satan", "Alien Rape", etc), but also a surprisingly well-executed power/thrash style. Metal Inquisition was just plain great fun to listen to, one of those guilty pleasures that one could both smile at and headbang to at the same time. Some time later, the followup, Stay Ugly, appeared, and was quite a disappointment, as the production and songwriting were both below average, and the style had shifted a bit toward messy thrash. Soon after that, the band, disappeared without a trace.

Years later, the Piledriver story is told. Pile Driver himself (real name Gord Kirchin) tells how the idea of the band came from a record exec who basically just wanted to make a quick buck. The band, as such, never really existed at all, as Kirchin was only hired to do vocals for two separate studio projects (which explains why the two albums differed as much as they did), with all the names made up, as was virtually everything else about the band. Kirchin later formed his own band, Dogs With Jobs, and sporadically has been working on solo material since then, all of which can be read about at his highly entertaining web site below.
