Special Metal by Bill Nelson
'Special Metal' is an outsider album for me, one which I didn't feel like committing to a physical CD, (which normally I would do for new albums,) but instead decided to allocate it to a digital download only release. It's an album which, as the title suggests, strays into heavy rock territory but with some ballad intervals. It might be said that it falls out of character for me, especially when I tend to eschew rock music for something less brutal these days. But it's an interesting proposition, with a certain dynamism that can only be regarded as straight ahead 'rock', albeit with some twists and turns that, inevitably, locate it firmly in a more contemporary mode. I think some of you might enjoy it!
The album comes complete with printable PDF artwork.
