Music For Nations 1985
If I'm not mistaken, ROGUE MALE were to have us believe that they were some sort of post-apocalyptic future warriors... or wait, that might have been ATOMKRAFT, but I think ROGUE MALE were on the same tip. Only the band's "look" conveys any sort of futuristic vibe, as the tracks on First Visit have a decidedly (cock) Rock feel. They are much heavier than yer typical commercial Metal band, falling somewhere between MOTORHEAD and TKO, but futuristic they ain't. I was mightily impressed by this record, because my recollection was that it was a turd, when in fact it's a pretty good time. Any record with a track called "Crazy Motorcycle" can't be taken too seriously, and I don't think that was ROGUE MALE's intent... simply download and enjoy.

sounds like Mike Muir fronting GBH/RawPower/Motorhead (Get Off My Back, Unemployment) with a few straight up rock songs throw in. dig it.
btw in 85 that haircut on the cover was all you needed to be futuristic.
Good call on Mike Muir! It's spot on.
tried really hard to love these guys - thought Animal Man was the better album though.
I loved this album back in the 80's. I bought it after it got a good review in Kerrang. They described the band as a cross between Metallica and Motley Crue, but whatever. I loved it. I much prefer this to Animal Man.
These guys are back again..sort of. They had a song on their site late last year and it was pretty good. Very mid-80's Motorhead. First Visit is way better than their second album.
Hi, you have such a great blog! I have started to run a blog by my own, and I have already added the link to yours, on my bloglist. If you could do the same, it would be great! Thanks in advance, keep true metal alive!
