UMUR
"Straight as the Crowbar Flies" is a single release by US, San Francisco based thrash metal/hard rock/heavy metal act Blind Illusion. The single was independently released in September 2020 to promote the forthcoming release of Blind Illusion´s third full-length studio album "Wrath of the Gods". It would be over two years before "Wrath of the Gods" saw the light of day, so "Straight as the Crowbar Flies" existed out there is a teaser for a long time.

"Straight as the Crowbar Flies" is a one-track digital single and the version which appears here is exactly the same version, which appears on "Wrath of the Gods", as the opening track on the album. It´s a powerful, intriguing, and both hard-edged and melodic thrash/heavy metal song, and it sounds very much like the material on Blind Illusion´s 1988 debut album "The Sane Asylum". So the fans who weren´t satisfied with the bluesy hard rock/heavy metal style of Blind Illusion´s 2010 comeback album "Demon Master", will most certainly find much more to appreciate here. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
