Music reviews of Damnation Alley / Be My Slave

Music Review: Live for the whip
Rating: 4 Stars

Bitch were one of the LA metal bands from the early 80's that had hints of success with a few videos on MTV, but mostly their live shows from the early part of the decade provide the most out of this band. Most known for an appearence on the legendary first Metal Massacre Compilation Vol.1 (alongside Metallica and a rough much more metal take of Tell The World from Ratt) with their trademark song Live For The Whip, if you're looking for standard and traditional balls to the wall no brains metal, Bitch are an obvious go to.

Fronted by Betsy and a 3 piece band, they are pretty cliche and dated in this day and age, their brand of sleazy "shocking" metal raised eyebrows around 81/82 with the bondage and S&M lyrics and of course the name in general. This reissue compiles the bands first (and best) album Be My Slave released n 1983, with chestnuts like Right From The Start, the title track, Heavy Metal Breakdown, Leatherbound, and World War III, you get the idea what Bitch are all about pretty easily. They rarely change pace except on some of the better songs like Riding In Thunder, the more groove oriented In Heat and the peusdo ballad Save You From The World, which is hardly a ballad really. Although this is standard of the time lunkheaded heavy metal, here and there the band reveal some talented and catchy riffs. The chorus in Leatherbound in particular as well as the more memorable and grinding rhythms of In Heat and the more mid tempo rocking Riding In Thunder. The CD also attaches the EP 'Damnation Alley' recorded and released in 1982, which features their tradmark tune, Whip along with another more anthemic toned down but memorable rocker called He's Gone. Betsy rarely changed her key, shes a limited singer indeed and that could get annoying for some real quick. Think of her as Pat Benatar on steriods, her leather clad tough chick image works well though.

In the end, Bitch werent exactly groundbreaking, but for 82, some of these songs are pretty heavy and trashy, and some could be on par with the legends of the NWOBHM of the time. However they do tend to offer up too much of the same, but if you love classic straight to the point early 80s party metal (early Leppard, Motorhead, Savage, Holocaust, early Motley Crue, Saxon), this is a good pick up for your obscure metal/hard rock collection.
