Cost: 99¢
I remember seeing the cover of these guys' 2001 Exorcism album with the horned, three-eyed cat monster, and mistakenly thinking it was an album by the long-running Austrian band. Didn't realize there was an entirely separate German Gallows Pole for quite a long time.
Sounds right in line with the typical German power metal sound of the time, though some songs lean quite heavily into more lightweight melodic metal territory. I gravitated towards the heavier tracks on the disc--"Gallows Pole," "Tonight," and "God Bless America." "Revelation of John" is also notable for having very overt Maiden influences in the riffing. Solid stuff, not a bad find at all.
