Anyone know what that song is called and who the artist is?

The footage is copyright by ITV4, just in case anyone wants to sue me

Yeah my buddy said "Helloween", which is indeed some crappy old west German metal band

But we weren´t sure.

Sorry it didn´t have any Nintendo 8 bit synthies in it Simon

Is that first one some prog rock Anthrax mix?

Nice work mate.

I like the song in the video anyway. If anyone knows anything about it, please leave a message after the tone.

I googled King Of The Mountain a few different ways and eventually found a link to someone reviewing the album and referencing the TT broadcast.

Their sound certainly is a throwback, isn't it? Back in '86 every label was signing every pop/metal band they could get just to cash in on what was trendy then... there was a lot of marginal metal back then, and I apparently didn't have the ear to tell the difference because I listened to all of it.

To me, they sound like Keel. I guess it's cool that somone is still making that kind of music - but having a motorcycling themed album is probably the only thing getting them noticed.
