Arriving the same year as debut albums from Iron Maiden and Def Leppard, and breakthrough chart albums by Judas Priest British Steel) and Motörhead (No Sleep ’til Hammersmith), it instantly became absorbed into the next generation of heavy metal bands that were about to blow up over the next decade.
