Heavy metal? Glam? Hard rock? Make your
own fuckin' call, you poser. We're not gonna
do it for you. Bound for Hell is early '80s L.A.
rock as it actually was: a California cataclysm
of drunk and horny headbangers, dressed
in sharp, shiny, leather androgyny and fire,
kicking crowds in the teeth to clear the way
to that one big shot. This 2LP set delivers 21
tracks by 21 artists in an ephemera-stuffed
gatefold, plus 144-page hardbound book
detailing the Sunset Strip's most razor-sharp
heathens. Drumsticks burned. Hands were
severed. Faces bled. Heavy was HELL for a
half decade and it was a long, long way down.
