Towne Cryer - Against All Evil (1992) - Thrash

Never heard these guys before!

I remember them, made a small splash in the scene then were gone. Pretty good, kind of a mix of early Bride with Seventh Angel.

Female fronted. Interesting!

I love both of their albums!!

I have the second release, which was on CD, but the first is better, IMO, and on cassette only.  I emailed Roxx (I think it was) one time and said they should cosnider trying to do a re-release, but never got a reply.

Especially since they seem to be open to the idea. Even open to re-recording some songs.

“Are there any plans for Towne Cryer to re-release either or both of the albums?”

“We have been asked that question a lot. There are a few songs I would love to redo. Re-release is always a possibility too.”

Pleasantly surprised, I like this a lot!

Yeah, I also really dig this!

Gonna start searching for some copies

Good band!

I think they sound nothing like Bride.

Not vocally but musically I hear elements of the early, more thrashier Bride. Could be just me, it's not uncommon.

I'm not an expert on Bride, I just got the impression they were more hard rock.

This album to me reminds me of stuff like:

Ice Age
Holy Moses
Znowhite	Act of God
Sentinel Beast
Warlock
Doro
Fear of God
Chastain
Vainglory

Their first two albums had some thrash elements, but they were never a "thrash band" per se.  I get the comparison to a degree....

Because they are classified as Power Metal, Thrash Metal

I thought they were great back in the day!  Used to listen to them a lot.  Would definitely buy a reissue, hope somebody does it.
