HEAVY METAL SHRAPNEL "Heavy Metal Hairspray" LP BLACK

US IMPORT!
HEAVY METAL SHRAPNEL returns with Heavy Metal Hairspray, an aggressive 9-track manifesto of riff-driven heavy metal spearheaded by Andrew Lee (Ripped to Shreds), as an uncompromising tribute to the "harder" side of the 80s US Power Metal scene. Moving away from the symphonic and melodic hard rock of his recent work, legendary vocalist Mark Boals (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) enters a new realm of intensity, delivering a performance that is leaner, meaner, and more visceral than anything else you'll hear this year.
Heavy Metal Hairspray pairs the overindulgence of power metal and even some glam with the high-velocity grit of Fifth Angel, Jag Panzer, and Alcatrazz. The album is further elevated by a blistering guest appearance from keyboard wizard Derek Sherinian (KISS, Alice Cooper, Dream Theater), whose duel with Lee on the track "Heavy Metal Overdose" cements the record’s status as a must-hear album in 2026. This is high-stakes, full throttle metal that honors the lethal legacy of the classic Shrapnel Records catalog.
Recommended for fans of: Alcatrazz, Jag Panzer, Dokken, Yngwie Malmsteen (Trilogy era), Fifth Angel, Racer X, and Cacophony.
