SPARTA “Same” LP Hades Paradise / High Roller
The spirit of early NWOBHM is still alive. This lp features the five tracks
from their ’81 demo, one track from their ’80 7’’ single and one track appearing
on the “Scene Of The Crime” ’81 compilation lp. The band can be seen as an
heavier version of Def Leppard. They bring a lot of energy and dynamism into
their music, which make them at the frontier between heavy rock and heavy
metal, as show it songs like “Rock Don’t Roll” or “Lords Of Time”. When SPARTA
speeds up the tempos (“Fast Lane”, “Tonight”), they are close to the Battleaxe
camp. All of the 7 tracks have captivating rhythms with the guitarworks that
shine. Dead good bands never rest in silence in the grave.
