Unrepentantly flying the flag for Classic British Metal since the release of their 1981 "Blitzkrieg/Buried Alive" demo, Blitzkrieg were a pivotal influence on countless heavy metal bands for decades to come: most notably, Metallica, who released a cover of the band's eponymous track "Blitzkrieg", both on "Garage Inc" compilation album, and as a B-side on their 1984 single "Creeping Death". Formed in Leicester in late 1980 by lead vocalist Brian Ross (who remains at the helm of the band to this day), the band would take a four-year hiatus when Ross left to join NWOBHM legends Satan, recording their classic album "Court In The Act" (Roadrunner) and touring extensively, before reuniting with bassist Mick Moore to form Avenger.
