The Eighties had seen Big Country rack up four consecutive UK Top 10 albums and 12 UK Top 40 singles. “The Crossing”, their 1983 debut album, had spent 80 weeks on the charts and cracked the Top 20 in the US, while their second album, “Steeltown”, had gone straight in at No. 1.

Label: Crusader Records, Now or Never was formed in 2012 by guitarist Ricky Marx (ex-Pretty Maids) and bassist Kenn Jackson (ex-Pretty Maids) with vocalist Jo Amore (Nightmare). They play epic tracks with destructively dirty riffs and catchy melodies, crowned by a singer who is rightly described as bloodcurdling. Sound technically III is more subtle, but with a heavy rhythm. III is the best of both worlds, melodic but heavy! Now Or Never embody the development from HardRock to modern Heavy Metal. Metalheads with the desire for harder PRETTY MAIDS should definitely have a go at this.
