Re-issue with bonus disc featuring the Metal Beast and Cold DayIn Hell sessions material as bonus.

The band was formed by Guitarist Wylum Pearson (Bill). Bill hadthe vision, resources and funding to form Taist of Iron. Bill wrotemost of the music and was the creative mind inspiring the band.Bill Wylum was lead singer for the band Allexis with a Bon Scottvocal style. He decided to put down the microphone and focus onplaying guitar. Bill would hold battle of the bands at Midland,Washington where he searched for the best musicians. Lorraine Gill(singer) and Mark Glabe (bassist) were recruited from the localband Ruzscullen. Jeff Massey (drummer) had played with Billpreviously and Mark Bakke (guitarist) was later recruited to theband through a series of auditions held for local guitar players.In 1983 Taist of Iron would headline at the Battle of the Bands atMidland Hall located in Midland, Washington near Tacoma. Most ofthe songs for the first album were created while rehearsing andperforming there. The only album `Resurrection´ was recorded andreleased in 1984 and it was distributed around the Seattle andTacoma area for sale. After the recording Mark Bakke left and theband went on as a four piece. Taist of Iron headed to Los Angeles,California in 1984 to show their album around to record labels andperform at Hollywood clubs like The Whiskey a Go Go, and Trubador.Bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns and Roses, and Dokkenwere launching their careers playing the same circuit. Taist ofIrons had a great live show with a grim reaper on stage opening theshow while Lorraine was lowered from the ceiling to the stage. Twolighted 10 foot white crosses outlined a brick back drop with abrick archway leading Jeff on drums and there were also twoMarshall stacks on each side of the stage. All this was portableand the band needed a road crew of 5 people to get it up beforeeach show. However just before a scheduled show at the Trubador theband decided to call it a day. The year was 1986 and the band was90% complete on a second album, living out of an 18 foot box van,surviving off sales of the first album to local fans. The secondalbum was never recorded. Lorraine had an incredible voice,classically trained; she had the looks and spirit of a true artist.Her strong Janis Joplin vocal style soared perfectly over theheaviest metal sound the band could dish out. The member of Taistof Iron was much into heavy metal and shared the same passion astheir fans and all they wanted to do was playing live in front oftheir fans.
