Taramis - Queen of Thieves. 1987 Australia

I recently posted about Taramis' second album Stretch of the Imagination. That reminded me to seek out the debut. I had read that Queen of Thieves was more like Iron Maiden and far less complex than their sophomore effort. But I didn't find that to be the case. This is certainly in line with some of the other crazy progressive thrash bands hovering about in the late 80s. One never knows where the music will take you next. Yet another solid album from downunda. Pity they stopped when they did. 

Ownership: LP: 1988 Metal Blade (USA). Recent online acquisition. Sealed no less. And surprisingly not expensive. Single sleeve with quite the eye catching cover.
