Under the Blade

Under the Blade is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Twisted Sister, released in September 1982 by Secret Records. The group had a following in the New York metropolitan area since the 1970s, but was turned down by most American labels. They relocated to the UK, in the midst of a heavy metal resurgence, and produced the album with UFO/Waysted bassist Pete Way. Featuring a raw, unpolished sound, many of the songs are rerecordings of demos the band had been playing since their club days.
